i have a 86 GT feiro its an V6. i have taken out the termistat and it has a new water pump why is it over heating????? i dont know why and i keep putting water in it but it still over heats!!!!!! what could be the problem????



you did not get all of the air out of the system. you need to follow the correct procedure for the Fiero. buy a chiltons or haynes manual or look for the Fiero online service guide on the internet. follow the process and it will no overheat.

so would a pin size hole make it over heat or will not effect it any?????

I don't think a pin size hole will make any difference at all if it is in the thermostat. If you have a leak elsewhere that might cause a problem in that air can get into the cooling system.

Never take a thermostat out of a car. The thermostat regulates the flow of water through the radiator. Without one, water can flow through it so fast it has no time to cool.

Have the radiator checked out by a competent shop. It could be clogged. The excess pressure from the overheating may have ballooned out the coolant tubes, restricting the flow of air.
