Hey all Well now i know why they make lemon laws... anyways i pick up my fc and im on my way home from buying it and boom a heater hose blows.. well i fix it and go down the road.. (when it blew a buzz came on, sounds just like the redline buzzer) anyways... the buzzing is now comming on and off as it wants... sometimes it acts like a shift buzzer.... telling me to down shift and what not. Anyways can anyone please tell me why this is...

its been going for 2 days now, and runs great... i see why people say they have personalities. but still... this buzzing has to go.!!!! thanks

 

Check your coolant level and oil level.

 

Ya you probally blew some colant out the hose you blew and that is what is making that noise. I dont have the radiator hooked up to my car right now and when you leave the ignition on too long it will start to make that noise.

 

oil is perfect
so is coolant

when the hose blew.... i had to completely refill it... it had to run for a few mins to go off the first time... also this might be cowenceadence... (spelled sooooo wrong) but cutting the heater on and off makes it go off sometimes.. sometimes it doesnt.

 

You may have some air trapped in the top of the rad. There's a little bleed screw in the elbow where the upper rad hose connects to the rad. Make sure there's coolant to the top of the filler neck on the thermostat housing, open the bleeder screw and add coolant if needed until cooland comes out of the bleeder.
Hope this helps.

 

Yeah, sometimes if you have air in there, the buzzer will go off when you take a left turn. Its kinda weird how the upper hoses curve down before they go into the radiator. Makes it harder to fill. Some people unscrew the level sensor and fill it through that hole. The level sensor is on the top of the rad in the center with the wire coming out. If you unplug it, and ground the wire coming from the car to the body of the car and leave the sensor unplugged, the buzzer will stop going off, but you may not know when you're coolant is a little low unless you physically check its level.

 

mine did that, exact thing, i put a new hose on it, and filled it with 50/50, after totally draining it all. Then it wanted more. after a short drive, so i put more, it would buzz again, so i put more coolant in til it was "full" that happened like 3 times, then it stopped buzzing

 

yup make sure and check it i think its cuz it doesnt all get in your engine then starts and circulates then gets lower in the rad. also it may not all get in the heater part of your car, when you are adding you can turn the heat on to make sure it all goes through the engine and heater to compleatly fill the whole system.

 

awsome everyone thanks so much i did the bleeder thing, and no more buzzer.... That was just in time.. had to impress a new chick with the fc, and the buzzer was gonna ruin it.. LoL she likes it a lot more than the firebird... just kept joking on me about this being my second day driving a stick... Ah well she wouldnt/couldnt do better....

 

no dash light was on?

if not you cpu needs soldering

 

True 'dat- you shoulda got an idiot light, too...

 

coincidence


The buzzer will go off when the coolant sensor finds an air bubble in the system. There is a bleeder plug at the top of the radiator that you need to open up after refilling the system. All the air will escape and then you can finish filling the top hose at the fill neck.

My FC blew that hose after I had it a week. I know what you are going through. Get rid of all those stock wire hose clamps. They will all cut through the hoses and you will have to endure more buzzing if you don't fix them before they finish their slow hose amputation.


*edit* looks like I am a little late with my suggestion.

 

no worries, thanks for all the help once again.. after that day i seem like id be better at pulling the motor out than i am at driving. Sigh.. im getting better thank goodness.

I know this has nothing to do with anything, but today after work a fd and a rx8, both black and both with the moonroof open rolled up behind me.. it was awsome, 2nd, 3rd, and 4th gen all same color and cruising behind each other... i feel so accepted.
