nevermind i figured it out but these

well i can already tell that my camaro starts up strong the first crank now the coolant level seems to go up at a much slower rate. i am low on coolant though probably 60% full a lot of coolant fell out when i changed those sensors tried as much as possible not to get the opti wet because if the opti went i would probably just sell the car lmao. but i did not get it to operating temperature yet or get into traffic/stop and go to see if the problem is fixed;ran out of daylight. tomorrow i will fill the car up with antifreeze and see if it fixed the problem i will report back with information tomorrow.

 

Those aren't what I was thinking of, but I know what those are. Haha.

Make sure you're filling up 50/50 or max of 70 anti-freeze/30 water. Too much antifreeze is just as bad as not enough.

 

bleed the air out of the cooling system. look at 1 here https://camaroforums.com/forum/93-02...rt-here-38462/

 

well my car is still getting very hot. i just went on an 20min drive and it got to about the lash white hash mark before the red any other ideas?

 

pull the thermostat and make sure its not sticking. if you have done that take it out again and make sure you have the right one and its in the right way. http://shbox.com/1/tstat.jpg

this is the one i bought.. what do u mean in the right way? i just put it in and sealed it back up? and i will pull the thermostat again to see tomrrow. im pretty sure i put it in wrong now looking at this shoebox guide...

 

this is the old one i removed

 

that's the radiator cap

 

you can pull the thermostat but be careful not to soak Mr Optispark. In fact, if he knows that there is coolant around, he does everyhting in his power to get some onto himself.

Anyway, pull the thermostat and just refill spillage with good ole water.

Water under pressure has a higher boiling point and you'll be fine for testing

If your car still overheats AND the air dam is in place AND it overheats going 30mph or faster, then the issue is elsewhere

 

i dont think my thermostat is opening i tried to test it in a pan via shoebox guide and it wasent opening? heres a pic of my old one
