Is my thermostat dead?
heyo: My coolant light has been coming on randomly, usually at higher RPMS, so i checked my coolant as at the fill cap. As the engine heats up, the antifreeze fills up the pipe, but then it just sorta keeps filling it up, until you rev the engine, at which point it sucks into the engine, then as soon as you stop reving, it fills the tube back up.. I'm assuming it's dead in the open position, as my guages hasn't shown a temp above 1/4th up..
sound like the thermostat?

I bled it some, but I was in a hurry, and that was the last thing I did before my test run.. so you may be on to something there, Hailers. I'm going to pick up a new Tstat anyway, but i'll be sure to pay more attention to bleeding this time
