so im out driving my celica around. and any time i boost the coolant temp guage rapidly goes up. so i stop boosting and then it goes down. full coolant wasnt low.
 ok the sensor thats in the top right hand corner the one you cant see in the pic has nothing connected to that wire no place to hook it up to. could that be the problem. if so which i think it must. what do i do. am i missing where that plugs into? -------------------- |

Also John, if it happens again, take your radiator cap off and then let the car warm up to normal operating temp, and watch for any air bubbles coming out. If you don't any, try revving the engine up to get some pressure in the cylinders and see if you get any.
I have seen a blown head gasket where the only symptom was air being forced into the cooling system when it was running. Also, if it is a head gasket (not likely), don't stress too much, it's really not that bad of a job.  -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
