does anyone knows why this might be??

my water pump was working fine....when i flushed out my coolant and filled it up....the add coolant light came on....i made sure there wasn't any leak....to double check i opened the coolant cap....no leak...is it because my water pump is messed up???


**when i drained out the coolant i wanted to make sure i flushed it out good.....so i used the water hose to blast it down the to where u add coolant (water pump)...could that be the reason the water pump messed up??

thanks for helping!!

^^^ i forgot to mention the engine temp goes up above the middle really quickly...

Did you burb the system?
You've got airpockets.
Fill the system as much as you can, then drive arond your house (somewhere you can stop quickly when the buzzer goes off) when the buzzer goes off, stop, pop the hood, and add coolant.

I changed my stock radiator out for a koyo awhile back and I still carry a gallon around with me, just in case.

i did make sure it was filled....i started the motor and added more coolant....it is filled to the top...

i'm afraid to drive it around...the temp is way too high after a few minutes after start up...don't want to overheat my motor...it's a new rebuilt....=(

it takes time to properly bleed the coolant in the fd ,take youre time with it

Sorjae

Just start up until mid range, then stop let it cool and the air will get trapped on top. Fill and repeat until its full.

I parked my car on an incline, with the nose up about 15º. I only had to burp it once.
