Hi there,
I'm suspicous about the cooling in my 75 camaro. When it's in traffic, standing still, the temperature meter goes off the scale, beyond 250. As soon as it is riding again, it goes to 150.
- The radiator is new
- Coolant level is good
- The radiator fan is turning
- I feel pressure in the large radiator tube, it is not too hot to touch
- Radiator is luke warm
- Coolant container is cool
Also I noticed that the coolant container has two marks: one for hot, one for cold. Well, my level is constant, regardless the temperature of the engine.
There is probably a pump that pumps the coolant? Could it be broken? How do I check for the proper flow of coolant?
thanks!
Bram
