Try the cheap stuff first. $20 thermostat, check for leaks where clamps arent tight enough or in the radiator or out the WP Weep hole, maybe even drain it all and just add water and water wetter.

If your pump is bad do yourself a favor and get a E-WP and your car will never run over 180*.

Whats your location?

I have a spare pump with 40K on it. I changed it when I changed the OPTI since I had it off anyway. If you want it...it's yours for free. Give me an address to UPS it to. I like to help keep the American muscle cars running on foreign soil
I'd try a pump, thermostat and a good bleed on the system to correct your problem.

 

you should check out ur fans and relays...do ur fans turn on before your car starts or no? my car had a similar problem (it would over heat cuase my fans wouldnt come on) but it could very much be you have an electrical short and ur fans are comming on to late

 

it goes up and dow all the time when ever i drive it thats y i dont drive it much.

 

Wolffman thats vary very nice of you but im from south america and shipping is more expensive than the pump itself. anyways i guess im gonna get a electric pump , i guess a stat and a fan switch, ill check for leaks in a few hours and also ill bleed my system. hope that fixes it.
maybe my pump went bad and air came in from the weep hole??? well i try anything.

ill update u in a few hours, whats a good electric pump and what acceseries i need to get for it? gaskets? meter? etc ty so much

 

I have a CSR and I like it. You just need a stock WP housing, some basic tools, wire, and WP gaskets.

whats the housing?? im not native in english and i dont know what it means
is it th hoses??

 

I wish my friend's wife was here since she is from Argentina. Anyways the housing is the WP itself. What you do to put an electric pump in is just hammer out the pump internals or guts. The propeler, bearing, shaft, etc. Then your left with just the empty "case" or housing if you will. The E-WP kit will have a plug for the back and then you bolt the E-WP to the front. I sealed it with some RTV Silicone just to be safe.

Here maybe this will help

nice , i wontbe doing the work myself but u think a shop will know how to do it?? and will not wet my opti???
ty i could always print them the manual.

 

new update i bleed the system and it had some air but it still getting too hot , its getting longer to hit near red, i also looked under the car and i didnt c coolant coming down (i dont have jack stands so i just looked under with normal car height) but im not sure my fans are turning on how can i check this??? i know if i turn on the ac they should come on but do i have to have the car running or just on one click before turning on?? ill take a pick.

 

i took a pic of how hot it gets b4 i turn it off but i dunno how to post them, it hit right where the red line begins.

 

TTT i only got a few hours before my mom goes to the US so i need to have a list of stuff for her to buy. help me out

 

k another update
so i just finished my 4th coolant bleed and i added like half gallon coolant and the temp got to half and stayed there forever and then went up a bit more ill say 1/3 from half to 3/4 maybe 1 or 1.5 milimetres more,thtas when i saw that my lights dimmer down a bit and come back up in a split second (i thinking is the fans comming on.) well anyways the temp went down back to half and very slowly got back up to a bit morethan half and went down again to half so i guess the overhating is fixed but i didnt see any leaks which is weird cuz i did get a power streering hortage not long ago from coolant on the belt.

how can i check if my pump is going bad besides looking at the weep hole to see if it leaks cuz im no seing any leaking.
ty for all , if u got any ideas plz post im a little more relaxed.

 

May not help, but you could try a new radiator cap. If it isn't sealing properly, it could cause problems. They're only a few $$.

 

yea i checked that but the cap is perfect.
