92 25th rs

[jay jay]

I brought my RS about a year ago, from my research the 92 RS comes stock with 305 v8 but the car has an 350v8. I have no proble with that but when the car heats up it does not stab out like when i first start the car does anyone have any helpful info to give or any suggestions. Im not a machanic but Im learning how to do some automotive work myself I just know the basics like changing oil, altenator, brakes.

what do you mean by "when the car heats up it does not stab out like when i first start the car"?

[jay jay]

when I start the car in the morning the car takes off quicker than after ive been driving it for about 60min I wonder do i need a better radiator

[jay jay]

or is there a possibility that there is a trans problem arriving

[jay jay]

Im going to go out and look at the car and come with some lagitamite questions

Does the car run hot?? What does the temp gauge read?

[ridge_runner]

yea thats what i was about to ask...

How much of a difference are you noticing? I know theres a slightly noticeable difference in power in my car if its cool outside or if the engine isnt at full operating temp. You haveto remember that when the engine heats up, So does the incoming air and fuel.. An Engine will run most efficiently with cold air and fuel

Hay I got a Q do you have a pic of the engine bay? Im looking for something...

well the temp gauge reads about half way wich i beleive is the 220 mark, but some time it will go slightly over a bit almost touching the red when I drive a lot, also since its been pretty hot lately maybee thats why. My mechanic rebuilt my radiator 4 me but im wondering if i should go with a 3coil or get a coustom made 4coil both all metal

Well how much of a difference in power are you noticing? Paper filters swell up quite a bit in the heat.. when they swell up they block off air pasages, that plus a dirty filter can really hurt performance.. Switch over to a K&N filter or CAI.. might help you in the hot weather

Does your cooling fan work?

I had a some what similar problem with my 92. I had knocked off the front spoiler (Under the car) this had caused the motor to run right about the red line on the factory temp guages. I mounted the puppy right back up and the car ran A1.

[Dober89]

Yea hes right the missing spoiler can cause the rad to not get enough cool air. That and sometimes the area in front of the rad gets clogged with leaves and junk and can make a big difference.
