Re: [DMCForum] Re: Overheating problem



Run the car from cold with the header cap off. Do you see the pee of 
water coming in through the return line? This could be either

a) Water pump failure
b) Blocked radiator

If you DO see the water circulating, check when the engine is getting 
hot, than both the elbow pipes going to the top of the pump are getting 
hot at the same rate. If one is substaintially hotter than the other, 
your thermostat has failed.

Get back to me with answers to these questins and we can go from there
