Greetings all, a non mechanical member here, seeking advise. By the way, as a poor retired military man, now teacher. two bad financial decision professions, I now must seek all advise.
88 Corvette, nothing on it that did not come with it. I live in South Texas, temperatues right now are about 85 farenheit.
Thursday of last week, the car ran a temperature of 299f for about 3 minutes while I got some water to it. Changed the thermosat. Added water, all was fine on the way home, about 30 miles, 210 no more thatn 210 showing.
today s Monday, took the car to school, all ok on the way to school, no more than a 220 reading. I thiknk 220 is pretty common. On the way home, the car runs up to 262 on the freeway, the red light come us, get off the freeway, the overfill tank to has popped, allow it to cool, take it to the house, another 15 minutes, got up to 299 and also went down to 258.
Got the baby home, put water on the radiator, there was no water left in. filled it up with just H2O and started right up at 177.
I just replaced the thermostat last week, do I have air bubbloes, is the water pum out, as we say in the military. WTF is going on?
Please advise, and thanks all for your assistance.
