Re: Grand Prix Running Hot
Sorry I figured he might of got it fixed in hope of an answer back, its just such an identical problem to mine
Coolant level is good, I have bled the system, but not with the funnel system, my original symptom was a bad LIM gasket, which led to new plugs, new wires, new LIM gaskets, GM sure fix upper intake kit, replaced the egr pipe in the LIM, new MAF, IAC, ECT , TSTAT, fuel injector o-rings, coolant elbows in idle, Throttle body Clean I have a code for a EGR stuck open or closed, going to replace that, the egr hole seemed alright, nothing I remember sticking out, but the pipe going back in got kinked a bit going back in (the part of the pipe that going into the LIM) As of now I am going to replace the EGR, and the one pipe, replace TSTAT and ECT with AC Delco parts and bleed system again with funnel |

Re: Grand Prix Running Hot
Check all relays for the coolant fans, the PCU will trigger one of them under a certain condition to give a battery to the coolant fans.
The PCU will control the low speed coolant fan, high coolant speed fan, HVAC cool max, and engine off. Low speed = 223F High speed = 230F HVAC = High cool max Engine off = 284F |

Re: Grand Prix Running Hot
The Coolant fans turn on, i have swapped relays and checked fuses, the high speed comes on 2 bars from red, which from what i read I guess is accurate, AC now is not turning on the fans though, it will drive for hours 2 bars from red, never over heat, but so close to that red, never ran up there before

Re: Grand Prix Running Hot
Doe's the HVAC high heat work?
Doe's it only over heat with the air cond on high max cool? Doe's the coolant fans work with engine off @ 284F ? Is your new ECT sensor a AC Delco? Yes What controls or sensors tell the coolant fans to turn on high max with HVAC on high max cool? PCU/relay/ sensor? Air cond pressure switch! Consider getting a Non-Contact infrared thermometer with laser targeting to check temps @ Amazon.com for $42.00 Last edited by danielsatur; 08-29-2012 at 11:09 AM. |

Re: Grand Prix Running Hot
Not sure if the heat works, I meant to try that today but didn`t about that,
Overheat, it never goes to red, only close to it, and when you say high max cool, I have digital climate control, but on the coldest temp its usually set, and no it doesn`t seem to be the culprit have not tried them off, but if I converted that right thats about over 130 celsius , my car doesn`t go that hot, New ECT wasnt AC Delco I changed nothing today, and i noticed when i started it the ac turned the fans on, unlike yesterday, and it ran cooler all day, around 106 Celsius.. so.. 220-230 F not the first time for this to happen |
