SOMEONE HELP ME!!!!

[The Reaper]

ok well i come to the conclusion that the hydro pump is working. its spinning with the pulley and no blades are chipped, bent, or missing. we tried putting the old tstat back in backwards thinking we had it backwards the first time. this time it the temp STAYED at OT but still no flow. the only thing i can think of now is that there is a blockage somewhere in the engine....

i am soo over this car and i need help....anyone have any ideas of what it could be??????

PLEASE HELP!!!!

here's the run down


ok i got a hydro fan setup still attached to the radiator we put it in fired it up and it had a crack

i replaced it with a 7M radiator and flowed water thru it before putting it in to clean it out and yadda yadda yadda....

i started the car up and it was almost touching the H. so i bought a new tstat for a 2J put it in there and still temp climbed to the H no flow....

i bought and extension mirror took the water neck off to where i could see the impeller with the mirror, turned the pulley, and its turning with the pulley, no busted, bent, missing, fins on the impeller.

so i put the 1J tstat back in back wards and now it doesn't over heat but the lower Rad. hose leading from the Rad. to the pump stays ice cold while the rest gets BURNING hot but still no flow and temp stays at operating temp. tried burping it and it just keeps spewing fluid and never fully bleeds out, and still no flow.

so thats where i got to last night before i stopped. so today im gonna try to gut the old tstat and see if it'll flow if not then im lost again....

also when i got the hydrofan set up it was in a box from ITR on the boards with a shit load of peanuts in it. i got all the peanuts i could see out of the radiator but is it possible one was still in there flowed thru the engine and got lodged???

damn, so the rad I sold you was cracked? sorry man, I got the rad from JHOT and it sat in the box when I found out it wouldn't fit the Cress.

 

[The Reaper]

hey man no hard feelings im not holding anything against you....but thats only cause i had another radiator in my garage HAHAHAHAHAH j/k

radiator is fine but something is not allowing flow thru the motor

 

[Ken]

i would imagine that if a packing peanut was indeed in the rad, that it would have been broken up, not sure though. maybe one of the rad flush solutions will help clear any blockages in the cooling system, have you tried that?

 

[Ric]

The stock waterpump blades are plastic, and when it gets old, the impeller spins on the shaft under pressure. Happened to me, but i dont use hydro, so it was just a quick run to the auto parts store for a replacement pump.

 

[The Reaper]

so yur saying even though the blade looks fine once it has coolant flowing past it it might just sit and spin as though it is stripped???

maybe i'll stick a wire in there to hold the blade while i turn the pulley or something

ITR:: i haven't tried a coolant flush yet

 

[Ric]

the nylon blade sits on the shaft by what looks like tiny little teeth about .5mm in lenght, its pressed on. All replacement waterpumps are steel bladed, that dont fail like that.

 

[The Reaper]

interesting i guess i should just switch to a 2JZ clutch fan setup huh?

 

[Ric]

You can get a hydrofan waterpump front half, if you want to pay new dealership prices, my guess around $100, since 2JZGTE ones are around $60. I can email castle hill toyota, james, for you if you wish for a quote.

 

[The Reaper]

well i got another front half already just haven't put it in. i just dont think thats the problem

 

[Ric]

maybe the famous BHG? Bad rad cap? Something sounds like its loosing pressure and doesnt have enought to open the thermostat

 

[The Reaper]

tstat opens with the radiator cap off. it opens by temp not pressure

 

[Ric]

I would put the garden hose to it and try to blow out whatever is blocking the paths

 

[The Reaper]

yea thats what my buddy and i were thinking about doing.

i'll do that when i get home

 

[OneJoeZee]

Yeah, put your hose in there and get ken's nuts out!!

 

[Ken]

my nuts are always in the weirdest places.


if you run out of things to test, test the pressure of the cooling system with a coolant pressure tester and a block tester to check for, er nevermind, wrong section.


let us know if my nuts come out when using the hose.

 

[The Reaper]

HAHAHAHAHHAHAHAHA oh man you guys kill me

alright ken if i get yur nuts out would like me to ship them back to you/?? nah i'll sell em on ebay

KEN'S NUTS 200 bucks plus Shipping!!! or 400 buy it now
