jesus senate do you work for the devil/stealership you are very very knowledgeable.

 

I don't work for a dealership. I do have some insiders at a dealership that allow me "access" to certain things. As for my knowledge, I've been wrenching for about 8 years now. 5 of those years have been on my '03 OZ, so I know Lancers pretty well inside and out. I've been on these boards just as long so I've absorbed lots of years of information from some of the best on here as well as doing tons of my own research on our Lancers.

Enough about me. Any updates to the overheating situation?

 

aka senate is god.. lol


yeah but yeah did you ever fix it?



i just found out today that my fans will actaully turn on.... when i flip the ac switch... but other than they have have yet. and even when i do turn the ac on and they run, the water temp doest go down one bit :/

 

Well heres the deal.

The car is overheating with 5 minutes of getting to temp. Especially when its hot and i am stopped, then again, if i am going it sometimes goes above temp as well.

the fans have been seen in action. both blowing air from the outside into the bay. This is the correct orrientation right?

i have a 1500 cfm main fan and a 600cfm secondary.

i recently drained the coolant and put new stuff in at 65/35 water.

still happening.

could it be thermostat? could it be water pump?? how can i tell.
