5speedz34 Posted December 12, 2003 Report Share Posted December 12, 2003 Ok, so today I go to start my car and I get the "low coolant" light, it only does this when I park in a certain spot in my driveway, and if I shut the car off goes away almost instantly. Also this morning, I was sitting in someones drive way for about 5-10 minutes and my temperture gauge goes to something around 3/4 on the gauge but I do not get heat at all, so I thinking maybe that I might have air in my system? Also, I'm getting a SES light for my EGR I have replaced all gaskets for the EGR and now lately when I get the light and I go to shift it seems to hold the RPM's and went let the revs fall down as fast, any ideas? In short winter fucks with ur car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Shaners Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Possible bad sensor... I've seen it in my truck before. Maybe a stuck thermostat or a bad heater core. Problem #2 sounds like a vacuum leak of some sort but I'm not positive Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
PaPaPooh Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 idle re-learn? 10 15 mins battery disconected it resets the codes there is a screw on your thermostat housing to bleed the air off if you still get the low collant you have a leak! good luck Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted December 13, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 Thermostat is new and the heater core, couldn't be bad cuz after I put a load on the car the temp gauge went back down. But I'm thinking maybe air in the system. But the holding the idle during the shifts is only on with the SES light, for the EGR code.

topless94style Posted December 13, 2003 Report Share Posted December 13, 2003 make sure the thermo is in the right way. When i changed mine, i put it in wrong cuz there are no markings on it, and the car cooled when driving, got hot when not, and didnt blow hot air. Check the bleeder vents and make sure coolant comes out. If no coolant nothing is flowing. turn the tstat. if coolant then you have just bleed your system.

5speedz34 Posted December 15, 2003 Author Report Share Posted December 15, 2003 I'm thinking maybe I'm just low on coolant or something but who knows. But with the computer thing wouldn't it make the car run wierd wouldn't not just do it once? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
