Yessir, 700R4.

My '92 Z28 was totaled. This is my '91 Z28.

 

Sadly, my 1992 was totaled also. Only car I ever wrecked. Was run of the road by a VDOT dump truck

 

Morning all, seems to be the season of the OVER HEATING syndrome.. Got my black beauty back on the road. Was heading down the road about 10 miles from the house when the gauge started climbing and the warning "bing" check your gauges came on. Pulled over, to see what was up. The fans were both working. Turned it off waited a few and let it cool. So now racking my brain.

1st thing was pull the t-stat and boil test it to see when it opens. it opened just shy of 200 degrees which was good, it was a 195..

swapped with a know good one and drove down the road again and she got hot..

so was left scratching my head..

So i'm thinking, it has to be the water pump... the front bearing seem good no play at all in it.

So plan this week is swap water pumps then test drive it and keep my fingers crossed.. if not maybe a gas soaked rag in the gas fill neck and wa la, a nice big Molatov Cocktail to go..



Morning all..

 

to the rock pile--ahhh another 6 day week bustin rocks and takin shots!!!

 

Morning all. How is everyone. Sorry I haven't been on in a while the job and other stuff.

 

I do it everyday. Not on cars though. Yachts! I install and service custom refrigeration and air conditioning.

 

Nice, i'm sure you got some stories..

 

auto or stick transmission? overheating at a stand still or moving?

i may talk to you about mine. PO took the lower line and condenser off years ago, and i want my damn ac lol

 

Maybe we need an A/C day!

 

Yes... so bad. The compressor is still good... it actually has close off valves right behind it. I assume i have to change out all of the parts because they have been exposed to atmo for so long?

 

YAY!!! We're back!

It took our host service 5 days to get up and running...5 days!!

 

I can turn on the ac and the clutch locks and the compressor is spinning, I get cold air for about 10 min and then it starts getting warm, check the compressor and the clutch has disengaged. After maybe 15 minutes or so it locks back up and I get cold air again for another 10 and then the same thing.

 

X a few for the talk about the AC with ya.. :-)


Dr J,

it is an auto, overheated while going down the road at a brisk pace of 55 miles an hour.

whatz your guess kind sir??

 

I believe (correct me if i'm wrong) but if it pulls vacuum ok the only part you would need to replace is the receiver/drier (aka the accumulator)

 

my theory on that is;

your transmission is running hot due to an air bubble in the trans cooler.
when your tranny runs hot, your radiator doesnt cool as well. mainly because it is a combo rad. part trans cooler, part rad. or your radiator is clogged, wether it be internally, or there is something wrong with the foils (either bent or clogged with debris).

ive heard a lot of things. the condenser was cut out, and i have heard that when the entire system is exposed to air, you gotta replace it all. i havent done anything cause i havent gotten a straight answer i am confident in.
