Well my 88 has been overheating for quite some time now.I narrowed it down to fixing the thermostat.Well that was a 185 I believe and I still run hot, I replaced both heater core hoses in the firewall and still a nasty leak causing loss of pressure making steam which made my car heat up.

I finally saw a problem, a big one.I noticed a huge area on my firewall behind the intake that was bright construction sign orange.Coolant was all over it and from the looks of it, it had been spraying the firewall for a damn long time.
I see that it is my(I believe) EGR coolant line that runs through the TB and to the back into whereever, intake or otherwise.Well I found the slit in the hose and instead of replacing or sealing that leak somehow, I pulled the hose into 2 sections and then got 2 screws and sealed both open ends for now until I get enough time to yank the upper intake and get some light and room to work/replace that hose.

I cant possibly be leaking from there anymore(not that I know of anyway) and I cant figure out what else could be the problem..

Any reccomendations on which pressure cap I should use? I hear the rad cap can make a serious difference and I dont know if I am using the wrong one.

I usually sit at 210 degree's all day long, normal for my car and it runs good, as good as a mustang with 4 blown by oil soaked cylinders will run lol. I have had it as high as 250(as far as my autometer guage will go)

:o


please help me out if ya can
