its not like i'm going in without knowing a thing about mechanics. i've done everything from engine swaps, engine rebuilds, trans/clutch's, axles(4x4), front axles(fwd), ujoints, complete brake systems(from lines to booster), lift kits, lowering suspesions, etc. i do know my way around cars, the...

no, i'm entry level. no certs. no previous experience for auto mechanics on my job history(was off the books). i feel like a moron, because now i cant remember if the manager said that i would get paid buy a flat rate. from what i've read...

tried that. still waiting on word back. figured i'd ask on here(also on 2 or 3 other forums). its a gas station, but has its on shop. 3 bay, 1 is a wheel aligment machine and lift. they have some pretty decent cars there...bmw's, audi's, etc. there pretty decently established, have a good...

what do entry level auto mechanics make an hour? i've never worked for a shop before, on the books, i just worked at one for free so that i had unlimited access to the shop(made a pretty decent amount on making exhaust systems for people after hours...shh). anyway, i'm looking at getting a...

welp, little update. went out and burped the car today. ran it for about 20mins, pulled it on the ramps. let it sit for about 10mins, opened the radiator cap, fired it up, and filled with coolant. it was low, took some time to fill it up. after it came to the top, it bubbled back down, i filled...

i actually just went outside and with a flashlight looked at the valve...and it is moving. so i'm guessing that thats not the problem.

and that valve could be whats causing the whole problem? i'll just bypass it then. lol, not to turn it into a scaper tread or nothing, but good seeing a fellow Farscape fan. i was mad pissed when they cancelled it. felt very dissappointed with The Peacekeeper Wars, want more. lmao. now i...

lol, that was funnier than hell. i haven't heard the word silly in ages. thats what i thought, but just wanted to make sure. okay, tomorrow i'm going to pull it on the ramps, drain the fluid, leave the drain open, bypass/rig that valve, and flush the system and see what that does...

thank you. Farscape rules. a/c doesnt work anyway, the pump is off the car....you say the time being...is it bad to run the car with it bypassed? i believe thats what i saw earlier but i'm not sure. cant find it now

as to the first one...are you talking about the drain plug on the bottom of the radiator? so drain the coolant, leave the radiator plug open and start the car and just stick a hose in the radiator? the second one...so like pulling it up on car ramps would work, right? you just pull the car up...

okay. its dark here, so i cant get out there til the morning. but i assume when you say pull that valve and hold it open, you mean to pull it down towards the ground, correct? that seems like a simple enough thing to do. and when you say bypass it when its cold, i have no idea what your talking...

i've read about 'burping' the car, but every time i read it, its different. are you familar with burping the car? how would you do it? also, any post or pics and diy on how to bypass the cutoff valve? i believe i saw something earlier but now i can not find it anywhere.

hope this is the right section to ask this. alright. first things first. the car isnt low on coolant, doesnt leak it, and there is no sludge in the oil or coolant. second, there is no warm air that comes out of the vents what so ever...even after running for 30 mins. lastly, the stock temp...
