    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    What am I looking for to happen? Overheat air pockets free'd up? My turbo coolant lines aren't bypassed. And the radiator is new, I also removed the jiggle valve. Nothing worked

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    I removed the jiggle valve but didn't heat it up in a pot of water I didn't want to doubt something that was new but I guess I should give that a try. Any other advice if that doesn't seem to cure it?

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    It seems hot and boils. Everytime I start too I pull over turn the car off and it's boiling over and the resevoir cap has popped off.

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    Ok thread update. Problem not fixed:wtf:. It seemed to have fixed the problem for maybe a night but now it's back I even installed a new water pump as well as upper rad. hose before the heater core went on me. I figured I could just burp the system again today at work on a slight incline and...

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    Well it looks like I found my problem it was my heater core it had a slight leak that wasn't noticeable and it kept getting air into the system. It completely went last night all over my foot so I had to bypass it which has cured the spike problem, and it is no longer over heating. Thanks for...

    Thanks for all your guys' input and suggestions, while I was at work today I went over my entire cooling system again. The coolant hose coming out of the heater core was not getting close to hot as I stated before as well as there being no heat. I started messing with the heat turning it up and...

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    It'll do it under load more often, but today I have had absolutely no problems I haven't really gotten on it but the temp has been perfect all day. I drove about 15 or so miles straight with not even a slight spike. It would seem too ironic for both the old stock HG and new metal HG to have...

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    Yeah I know they arn't accurate I was thinking my sending unit may be bad it just gets to me and scares me a bit seeing it spike like that. I wouldn't even think a stock gauge would do that.

    Help random overheating/temp spike!

    I'm going to explain this the best I can, I've never experienced this kind of over heating issue before so I'm at a stand still. About a week or so ago I was on my way to work everything was running perfectly fine nothing was wrong temp was where it was supposed to be, right when I got to work...
