Just getting back to SVT, searching threads and looking for help.
I never had any cooling issues. Have had my current setup since 2008.
I was out this weekend. Car ran fine for a while. Then while under light acceleration the car stumbled. Sort of nosed over. I felt it but my wife thought I was nuts.
I almost pulled in my driveway but decided to go around the block again.
Same thing happened. Got back home and it let loose. Coolant vapor pouring out.
I thought I blew a hose! Got it in front of garage (in case I had to push it in) and shut it down.
It was coming out from under the cap on my Canton overflow tank.
I did notice a slight anti freeze smell at times during the day.
...
Would the T-stat be the first thing to change?
Does the computer pull back on power when the car gets too hot?
Should I diagnose further to see if it's water pump or something else?
Gauge was way high but not pegged.
I might give it a romp when it's cold to see if the stumble is gone.
Thanks for any help. I used to enjoy helping those that were doing the same mods I did back in the day.
Trying to get some guidance in the right direction myself now. Thanks again!
