Default bubbling?


I was wondering what that bubbling sound was in the exhaust is something in there such as water or is it something else such as oil or some have told me that i blew a cylinder. Now if i blew a cylinder wouldn't something such as black smoke be coming out the exhaust.

But what happens if your gauge goes up to about 1/2 ways is that also normal or is there something to reset the computer maybe the computer is reading that it still overheating from the other day ago. just replaced fluid, the coolant light went on but temp still goes high

Ok Talon, if your car isn't acting the same and you know for a fact that it isn't, then something must be wrong. Now it's time to get a little bit more technical. Do you have a compression tester? or know a friend that has one? This will tell you the truth right here: a compression test. That will tell you if your head gasket is blown or if one of your water jackets are cracked. Now if that checks out ok, then you must have air in your coolant system. Air can get in if you run empty or if you replaced a thermostat or hose or something. If air is present, then you must bleed it out. Let me know what you come up with.....

Peace

the temp gauge running around 1/2 is normal. Our cooling fans dont even kick on till the gauge gets nearly to the 3/4 mark. THIS IS NORMAL. It looks like the car is running hot based on the gauge because of they way they are set from the factory, dont sweat it.
