I just put an air intake on my 2002 monte carlo ls a 3.4l it was good on the first two days and suddenly it overheat my engine the only thing I change was a chrome tubing and a 3 1/2 cone filter and my sensors are still in place just like the directions told me to do what could it be?

 

First time i have seen you so welcome.

Questions:

1. Coolant in the motor?

2. Thermostat working?

3. temp sensor plugged in?

4. cooling fan plugged in?

I'll probably think of more later

 

Ill check for those and thanks for replying

 

Ebay crap-intake?

 

yea, do us a favor and take a picture of the engine bay. I also have a 3.4, mine would heat up SOME extra, but never to the point of red lining it (or even getting close).

 

If you say its overheating, what are your ECT #'s?

 

where can I find the ECT #?

 

Scan tool plugged into the obd port.

IMO, the stock gauge has too much variation to make a reliable assessment based on it, hence why I asked if you could find out what the actual values from the coolant temp sensor were to know exactly where it is at.
