Ok this might be some weird coincidence, after me and my buddy put new rotors and brakes on the front, my dad noticed the nooise coming from my engine, it was the fan. Car was really hot. Brakes work fine, then when i drive it, and floor it like once, engine temp goes up to 220ish and moves around going higher and lower, and i can hear the fan on in the engine! i really dont know what it could be, any ideaS?

Re: Engine OVERHEATING since brakes done!!
Did you remove the air dam when doing the brakes?
Otherwise, the brakes don't have anything to do with the cooling fans/radiator unless you disconnected something when replacing them.sigpic -
Re: Engine OVERHEATING since brakes done!!
the only thing you brakes could have effect the temp of your engine is if the caliper piston is sticky causing drag and strain on your engine. most likely something else thoughComment

Re: Engine OVERHEATING since brakes done!!
Possible air in the cooling system.
Check your coolant level, make sure it is at the correct level. Then locate the coolant bleeder screw on top of the engine on the drivers side, and with the engine running at operating temp, open the screw. Make sure that a steady stream of coolant comes out. If air and steam is comming out, keep the screw open untill a steady stream of coolant flows.Now Playing: \'99 Pewter Firebird, stock, bone stock, and nothing but stock, so help me God!<br />Comming attractions: K&N Filter, Lid Mod, Intake Bellows Smooth Pipe Mod.<br />I dream about: Forced Induction (TC or SC) or NOX (or both!)Comment

Re: Engine OVERHEATING since brakes done!!
I have a brand new engine in my car. I have a 160 thermostat in it and my car also jumps up to 240. But it always goes back down. I don't know but i don't think it is anything to worry about.Comment

Re: Engine OVERHEATING since brakes done!!
Sounds like you have air in your coolant stream. If my gauge read 240 I would worry about it and get it checked. Make sure its a bad guage and not a real problem or your gonna loose a head gasket.Originally posted by A1C_CHRANSOriginally posted by kala

Re: Engine OVERHEATING since brakes done!!
I'd still check for air, especially if your running a 160 thermostat.Originally posted by kala

Re: Engine OVERHEATING since brakes done!!
Is their another way to let the air out on a 3.4L without taking off the radiator cap?Comment

Re: Engine OVERHEATING since brakes done!!
3.8L have the bleeder.
Do the 3.4L also have the bleeder? I'm guessing that is does.Now Playing: \'99 Pewter Firebird, stock, bone stock, and nothing but stock, so help me God!<br />Comming attractions: K&N Filter, Lid Mod, Intake Bellows Smooth Pipe Mod.<br />I dream about: Forced Induction (TC or SC) or NOX (or both!)Comment

Re: Engine OVERHEATING since brakes done!!
I assume the 3.4 has a bleeder somewhere.Comment
