Repair Questions and Answers
Question:
1984 Pontiac Trans Am v8 5.0 305 _mileage: 77,000.
I have an '84 Trans Am, I put new manual transmission,
new carburetor, new thermostat and Radiator with hoses.
When I drive, I feel heat coming in where the stick
shift knob is, on the instrument panel, I have radiator
arrow coming from 220 to 240, and then it climbs over.
What is a possible cause for such a thing? What
can you tell me where to look? No leaks.
Answer:
First check the radiator temperature with a separate
temperature gauge. This will double-check your
dash gauge. Remove the thermostat and test in a
pan of hot water. It may be faulty. Check
for exhaust in the cooling system. (Blown Head Gasket).
