ok another problem im having is my engine is running very hot. although i cant tell the exact number because the thermometer along with every gauge is not working. im guessing around somewhere along the boiling point. from what i see the radiator was broken and was replaced. hoses are new and without any kinks. i replaced the thermostat with a higher temp one. when i stop the engine after running it i can hear boiling or something like that. im going to have my coolant system power flushedand refill it with the top-of the line coolant and dilute it with distilled water as per instructions on the side instead of using tap water hopefully this works. If you have problems like this please tell me how you rectified it.

 

So, you think you're running hot, but have no actual evidence? I'm a bit confused.

Get a temperature gauge and hook it up.

 

Why did you get a higher temp thermostat?

 

i hooked a temp gauge up and its reading 190 and it was only running for 20 mins at idle speed

 

190 is fine
