yea i had a Failsafe thermostat in there that was stuck open like it should have when it fails. that was part of my problem. i went through and replaced everything and flush my core with a pressurewasher set at 200psi and it cleaned it out nicely. nothing but mud came out lol. but in reassy. i missed a hose clamp and now the car wont run for more than 2 minutes because the hose blew off and got the whole bay soaked. which means the dist. cap and rotor got soaked. lol. /fail. im such a dumbass :nanan?re
