So basically i changed some sensors a couple weeks ago and drained the system. When I went to fill it up I could only get about half of the fluid in.
I really don’t want to have an overheating issue so I replaced thermostat, water pump, radiator. (Timing belt while I was there)
so I tried it again. I got a more fluid in this time but still not full capacity. I started it up and ran the heat but only got heat when I reved the engine. Heat stopped at idle. The engine didn’t suck more coolant as it warmed up.
I am getting a new radiator cap tomorrow but if that doesn’t do it I’d like some ideas.
I doubt it’s a heater core issue cause heat was fine before I drained it to begin with
my temp gauge is inoperative so no use for diagnostic
