[DML] Re: Overheating, idle speed and stalling issues

Hi John & Everyone,

John:  Thanks for the offer.  I may take you up on that if my next course of action fails.  I will in the meantime be placing an order with you.  Read on.

All:  My mechanic and I did a coolant pressure test on the system.  Pressure held pretty well, but it lost a tiny bit over time.  We then used a scope and found a coolant pooling in the valley.  We also noticed that there is an ever-so-slight leak from the seal between the thermostat and the pump.  So...looks like it all comes back apart, new seal(s) go in, and I take a hard look at the hoses on the rear of the pump.  Man, I was REALLY careful trying to get those hoses right, but I guess not careful enough.  Ugh...but I'll take this over a head gasket!  Methinks this time around I'll try a pressure test somehow before putting everything back together.         

Will keep you posted and thanks again for all the input.

-Glenn
