Two problems I am sure are related -
I replaced all the coolant hoses to spec and deleted the secondary tstat. I jacked up the car and I bought a spillproof funnel. I've tried every trick from Jlevie instructions to youtube videos.
Filled the thing up and now I have no heat and the spal fan doesn't kick on. I have the spal fan wired to the hi-speed fan relay and when I jump the two prong 82 Celsius temp switch at the radiator the fan kicks on.
I thought maybe I have the heater core hoses flipped but the top goes to the T-Hose which goes to Tstat housing and expansion tank and the bottom of the heater core is connected to a hose coming from cylinder head. Forum searching reveals this to be the correct configuration.
When I start the car it goes hot and then temp drops before rising again, which I assume is when tstat opens.
I feel like I am damaging the engine trying to bleed air. Is it air? It can't be? I crack the bleeder and nothing but coolant comes out. The only reason why the fan wouldn't kick on in my mind is if liquid isn't hitting the temp switch...
...Honestly don't know anything anymore.
