Hey guys, need help with this problem.
My 88 overheats every morning, it looks like it doesn't get into closed loop until it reaches 140-150 deg.
At first I though it was the thermostat so I changed it and it didn't solve the problem, then ran it without it for a week and there was no more trouble but since it's not a good idea to run without it I installed another one (160 deg) and the problem is back.
The funny part is that it only happens in the morning when I start the car for the first time. This morning I pulled in a parking lot and let it run on parking (automatic transmission) and when I try to engage the drive again the engine died out, turned on again and try to engage and died out again, samething happened a few times until finally made it run.
The radiator fan works perfect but the thermostat doesn't open at its time and it looks like the overdrive doesn't kick in on time either, but once the thermostat opens the overdrive shifts and it cools down and remains working perfect for the rest of the day until the next morning.
This is been happening for a couple of weeks and is driving me crazy.
Any recomendations or thoughts about this?
