ANY BUYING/SELLING IN THIS FORUM WILL RESULT IN AN INSTANT BAN!

Read the rules: http://www.cb7tuner.com/vbb/showthread.php?t=43956

Myself, and the other mods have been very nice and lenient with the rules. We have been deleting threads, and giving out warnings. Some members didn't get the clue and re-posted over and over... Now ANY member buying or selling in this section will be banned... No IF's AND's or BUT's.

    Radiator going bad?

    So i finnally got my toggle switches for my fan working and ran it for a while with fans on. i drove about 23 miles(friends house to home) and about 1/2 way on the freeway my car started to heat up agian. when i got home i felt my radiator hoses and the upper rad. hose was hot but the lower one was much much colder. could this mean its time for a new rad? i also replace my thermostat a month ago. Also one more thing, my car had an idle issue for a while and i had no air in system, no vacuum leaks, cleaned/bottomed fitv and iacv. i was messing around with it all of that stuff and i unpluged somthing i think its the MAF sensor on the TB? well it stoped my fluctuating idle but threw a CEL. is it safe to run it with out that sensor?

    When is the last time you flushed/changed your coolant?
    Check your hoses for any leaks, also inspect the radiator top and bottom, all around.
    If there is a radiator leak I believe it can be welded shut, but I don't think that's a good route to go down if you want longevity.

    MAF sensor question I have no idea.

        hows your coolant look? hows your engine oil look? if you replaced the radiator and thermostat you might have a blown headgasket. how old is your water pump?
