I'm having some probs with my winter beast. She's over heating after only about 5 minutes or so of running! Something tells me the system just needs to be flushed as it has 197k, and I noticed the fan doesn't kick on, and I also noticed the temp gauge lies, would that be the coolant sensor? Anyway, just wondering if any of you wizards here new if and how I could flush it myself? There is no way I could drive it somewhere like this.
By the way the beast is an 88 Daytona Shelby Z...vrroom, haha.
1) thermostat failure. It is stuck closed. $8 repair.
2)waterpump failure. More expensive/bigger PITA to install.
3)Is it leaking? if so, find the leak and repair it.
4) I don't mean to insult your automotive abilities, but it is full of coolant right?
It does sound like the temp sensor is broke.
THe best coolant flush will be performed by a dealer. If you want to do it yourself, empty the coolant system, fill it with water or some kind of detergent (ask parts store guys about what to get) and run the engine at idle for 15 minutes. Drain the cleaner stuff, and repeat if necesary.
When it is clean, refill with coolant/water.

Yeah, it's full, that was the first thing I checked, I'm hoping it's just the sensor or fan or both, and the water pump, ugh, I didn't even think of that. Thanks, for the tip on the flush though, I'll see what I can come up with, I just wanted to know if I could do it on my own as a last resort.
