Running hot & cold

Recommended Posts

hello guys 'n' gals

i have recently put a 2.00 9a engine in a car that originaly was a 1.8 kr every thing is good apart from

 

when am motoring along it runs at about 70/80 degrees

however if i stop in traffic it goes up quite rapidly to about 105/110

the fan comes on at about 91 degrees for about 30 seconds then goes off even though the temp is still rising

it will keep coming on and off when its running at about 110 degrees

 

i have fitted a brand new water pump and thermostat and fan switch thermo and its still happening

 

if anyone has done this conversion before or has experienced problems like this any feedback would be most welcome

many thanks. woody

Did you change the coolant thermostat with the new water pump?

 

If not, it could be its not fully opening when it needs to. But its opening position is OK when driving along.
