have you checked the electrical circuits to the pump, making sure she is jumping up to full blast phase? The times you are describing it occurring are roughly the times the pump is supposed to go into the ho mode.

Im going out to buy tons of coolant, distilled, and coolant system flush stuff right now, Will replace the thermostat, flush, refill, drain, and refill with coolant today.

will see what happens later. wish me luck ~
1st, get the cooling mod or the rb or ap flash..

i would not drain the system.. just put the nose up on jackstands or nose up on a steep driveway.

remove rad cap. start car and let it come up to operating temp.. have the heater set to hi during this process.

that usually will get all the air out of the system..

strangely, the *choke* is kinda "gone hmm ...

I might not be pushing it hard enough. Its friday night cars were like fooking nutz everywhere.

Gonna try more tomorrow.

OD : Hmm, could be. but the choke is "kinda" gone now. I will check it out tomorrow morning.

Swoope : Im planning to get the rb flash, I know I can get AP, but I wont go turbo or whatever for a while, and it only cost me 150 to reflash. in a year or 2 I will get AP.

For the bleeding thing, yes I re-did it today, With the AC switch off and blast it full speed on heat. it wasnt that great to sit inside the car with 92 degrees outside while blasting Full heat on your face. But hmm, I think I did got most of the Air out if not all. Coolant does seem to be a bit lower, but Im STILL seeing 100 Celsius water temp -_-

Still trying to figure how to take the god damn thermostat housing off, I cant take the bolt behind the housing off, stuck there, have to put everything back together grrrrrr

To test the rad fans, you don't even need a meter - pull the relays and jumper them one by one.

I replaced motor #2 already. maybe I should give #1 a try, although it seems to be working just fine ... well #2 was working fine too, but after I swap it, when the speed is on High, wow the wind is so much stronger.

I had the exact same problem a couple years back, probably the same problem. Same symptoms, different car.
