[SikRacing97GST]

LAst friday i installed my 3" turbo back exhaust and it was just last night i got off the interstate and noticed that my water temp was all the wayyy hott so i pull over pop the hood, the resivoir for the coolent is full!!? and bubbling up, so i let it cool and let the cap vent the steam out and i wack the thermostat a couple of times and the coolent starts to drop and it seems to cool down, so im hoping this is just a stuck thermostat and not anything to do with my downpipe heating up the car????Help me guys i need to go to school tommorow !!

your fans pluged in ? that could be it ? Im almost 100% sure that your Dp has nothing to do with it , just look around carfully and check for anything out of place good luck

check your fan relays , they might have gone bad ? is the timp sensor pluged in ? just look around

also look to see it theres and wires , hoses , lines touching the DP that gets pretty damn hot ....

no both fans work, they both had to kick in last night in order to cool the engine
