RE: over heating nightmare By Gerry Proctor - 04/12/2004 6:32:39 AM; IP 207.133.188.254 Steve is probably right. If the cooling system is capable of doing its job and you're still having overheating, it's probably something simple that doesn't require you throwing money at the problem until it goes away. It depends on where you're having the overheating problem, though. Retarded timing will cause overheating from idle on. A lean mixture will cause overheating at anything off idle. If you're getting overheating only at highway speeds with engine rpm in the higher ranges it could be either or both of the first two as well as a collapsed water pump suction hose. It could also be slipping fan belt. It does no good to start replacing parts since the odds are that it's something simple, as in tuning, or cheap like a lower hose missing the anti-collapse spring or slipping belts.

This thread, so far...
