Hi everyone, I really need some help. I have a 96 gt and my car will not stop overheating. But the wierd part is that the temp guege reads normal so the fans don't kick in anymore.Everytime I park my car my radiatior dumps all the coolant out through the reservior. I think that my thermostat went bad but I am very open to suggestions. I already posted on a different site but know one could help me or they just chose not to.

Just so you know for next time in case this helps.....the sensor at the bottom of your radiator..the plug you have to take out to drain your radiator...thats the sensor that tells the cooling fans to come on. my sensor went out when I blew the head gasket so I had to replace it...But I found out that if you unplug the plug that goes to the sensor, your fans will stay on as long as your car is running. Its not a really good solution cause you might blow the motor in your cooling fans, but its a quick fix until you can find out whats wrong....just in case you get stuck on the highway or something like that!
