is this BAD? i was runnign the car, FORGOT THE AIR PUMP/FANS fuse popped and im working on gettin the rear taillight out to check the bulbs and then its hits me i look at its as far up as it can get, i turn it right off and pop the hood, i can hear the coolant bubbling and boiling in the overflow tank. i didnt screw nething up did i ??? i put a fuse in for the fans instantly after too and they kicked right on.. should i be alright since its like below zero out and it'll cool right off

 

i wont warp heads or risk the headgaskets will i ?

 

It depends on how long it was up there and how hot it really was. Symptoms may show up later.

 

well it was in the red on the temp gauge, almost all the way up as far as it can go, was still running perfectly fine and is, i went out for a drive! it wasnt there more then 2-3 mins like that ? what kinda symptoms?

 

Mine ran fine even with a blown head gasket. I had some coolant come out the exhaust with extra smoke. Another sympton would be coolant in the crankcase oil.

 

Ill have to check the oil tommorow, I pray the car is ok, im sure it is though cuz it wasnt hot for long....

 

I did the exact same thing, I turned it off imeditaly and let it cool down. I haven't had any problems since(it happened about a month ago). You'll be fine as long it was only for a few seconds.

 

yeah it wasnt long at all, i instaly turned her off and put a new fuse in with the car off, fans kicked right on even with the car off , ill check the oil tommorow, should be ok though
