i have an 01 monte carlo ss and the temp. gauge goes up to 2 lines over the middle. i already replaced the thermostat, temp sensor, water pump, belt tensioner, took the radiator to get flushed and cant find the problem. the fans are direct with a relay so they do work. if any one has any idea what it could please help me out thanks in advance.

 

How is your coolant mixture? Does it have many other mods?

 

100% antifreeze and only mod is cool air intake

 

There's the problem. Needs to be 50/50 mix. Straight antifreeze actually freezes sooner than straight water.

 

Never run...straight antifreeze !!

60/40 is even fine....but 50/50 is the usual mix...

The system needs water....to perform properly...

 

Ill do that then i didnt think that would be a problem but i try it
