How do I get the air pocket out
Add fluid ti'll tank overflows, open the door, pump should turn on, run back to tank and keep pouring so the tank ever run dry, keep this up until it stops sucking in fluid. Took me a few tries bc the pump sucked the tank dry quicker than I could pour. then had to wait a few minutes before trying again.
Ive been trying to car around fine for 3 weeks is this normal i should have to do it several weeks after the shop installed the kit?
This is addressed in site edelbrock troubleshooting thread. If the shop didn't fill the system right then the pump will shut itself off. Vacuum filling is the quickest and easiest way, if you gravity fill(pouring in by hand) then it takes a few fills ups to finally get it to stay full. Your IATs should be no more than 15-20* over ambient when cruising. Im in Texas where we hit 110* outside and my IATs never went past 125-130 when cruising
Yea my iats have been fine the last 3 weeks since install and today all of the sudden they jumped to 170 in fla is it okay to buy the pre mixed coolant do I use the edelbrock small resivor or the oem one? I’m not too mechanical inclined wanna make sure I do it right
Just to add I just tried opening door and heard the pump turn on for a split second and then shut off
it should have stayed on for a while, if the reservoir tank is empty then you need to add more fluid. Might want to make sure your tank isn't leaking, if the cap is loose or wasn't put on right then it could of been spilling out.
Just added coolant and filled it up it up drove and temps came down too normal and looks to be holding the coolant in the surge tank I’ll monitor though for a few days
I had this same issue if you have a little air in the system the water pump won't run. You have to keep putting coolant in until all the air gets out.
