Just purchased a 94 Sport 5 Spd 196k miles. Runs great. noticed that temp wouldnt get up but price was king. So I replaced the T stat (stant) and rad cap(lev r vent stant).
Now at highway speed the temp fluctuates from below N to L. And there isn't a lot of heat. Warm air at best. And while Idling the temp stays pretty much still in the O range, still very little heat though.
I've been reading a lot of threads on here and the best I can see is either air in the system or water pump. But I haven't found the same mix of issues. Its pretty cold here and I would like to get the heat working but the fluctuating temp only at highway speeds is more disconcerting to me. I dont feel its a headgasket as it has been taking coolant from overflow and its not overheating.
I will try to get as much air out of system during the week here and maybe bypass the silly valve (a/c dont work anyway). So if I'm missing the obvious let me know. Thanks.
