Sunfire 2000 2.4L Idle stays @ 4000rpm after replacing water outlet & coolant
Hi guys,
A few weeks ago I had a leak at the "Water outlet", so, I've removed all the coolant, replace the water outlet & gaskets and refill the coolant. Since then, when I start the car, the engines starts at about 3,000rpm and quickly goes to 4,000rpm and stays there. Except if I put the car in third and play with the clutch. I've tried to drive it around the block and it didn't helped. When I try to press the "big coolant hose", it soft and cold, I can easily press it and I see bubble in the coolant tank (When the engine runs). So it looks like the coolant doesn't flow. After about 2min, the car reaches it's "normal" temperature and I shut the engine. Everything was fine before I changed the water outlet. Any ideas what's wrong? Thanks! Guillaume Car specs: - Pontiac Sunfire GT 2000 - 2.4 L / Manual Transmission - 280 000km / 175 000 miles - AC Doesn't work - Rusted - No major issues - Owning the car since 9 years - Never let me down! |
