jdl 2/23/2012The engine continues to get hotter for a bit, after the engine is turned off, no coolant flow. Maybe I misunderstood your question?
Les 2/24/2012When I turn the engine off when hot the fluid surges up and out past the rad cap. I am adding fluid regularily, more than I have in any other vehicle, and if I stop to fill up say on a road trip restart about 10-15 min later the engine does not want to run and once it starts runs rough and must be reved for a min before smoothing out, A couple of times the check engine light has come on but will go out down the road.
jdl 2/24/2012Why wouldn't the coolant flow to the recovery reservoir instead of out the radiator cap? Is the engine getting hot, what does the temp gage show? Do the cooling fan/s work? What about the thermostat? Any applicable trouble codes?
Les 2/24/2012You're asking the same things that I have asked every mechanic, friend, hotrodder, etc. Everything seems to be working fine.The question about the reservoir is bugging me too but I don't know how exactly that system works and if the rad has to be replaced to repair it. I suppose a test can be done on that system to determine that at a rad shop.
jdl 2/25/2012Is the coolant recovery reservoir filling up? Maybe a bad radiator cap? Les, I know it is frustrating,but, I can't see much from here.
Les 2/29/2012That's where I'm going to start and work my way up from there. Hopefully I find that it is something simple and inexpensive. I will keep posting my results as I go.
