Is the oil temperature going up? Or the water temperature lights moving to the right?

Inspecting the coolant lines

I no have modifications in my car. The car have 2 years without use. I inspect the coolant lines bit i not see any leaks. When accelerate hard the water temp is going up, up more than the normal some times 3 qtrs. And then is low down, when check the radiator i see lose the coolant fill up and repeat and is the same situation.

Sounds like water temperature issue.

Lets start with simple stuff:

- Check radiator Fins for blockage

-make sure Electric fan is working

-fan shroud is not misaligned or broken.

-check coolant level. ( you may not have a leak, but not enough quantity or proper ratio)

After that, it is cooling system: Thermostat, plugged lines, water pump.

After 2 years without use, I suspect some sort of corrosion and blockage or failure of components, like sticking thermostat or water pump that is nearing seizure.
Good luck

Coolant is a liquid. It's going to be loose :twocents:


Sticking thermostat sounds feasible. I'd check other stuff first though cause easier.

What is the dilution ratio and chemical status, IE get test strips.
