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.

    Car overheating when raining?

    Hey Cb7, I've been having a weird issue lately. It's been raining. For some reason, when it rains, the temperature gauge goes near H and even past it. During normal operation this doesn't happen. when it rains, it does. I turn on the fans and set the temperature to hot and that will bring down the needle a lot (or a little, it seems to depend)


    Any idea what could cause this? I did a radiator flush already, now I'm looking at the stock air intake. Could it be inefficient? Do you think I might have an excuse to upgrade to a short air intake?

    You're intake isn't going to really help with that, the intake would kill the performance and possible idle of the motor. You need to make sure your fans are operating properly when at a stop. My guess is that your thermostat is sticking intermittently and its a coincidence that it happens when it rains. So check the thermostat.

      my only guess is that water is getting in your fan plugs and shorting them out.
