Over heating problems

[lunchbox0029]

I have a 3.2 95 ATX SHO I can drive all day with the air on anywhere I want to go no problem till I hit the freeway then it over heats. I changed the radatior flushed the motor still over heats at high speeds. I'm not sure if it has a thermostat I bought the car about 6 months ago owner didn't do his own work on the car. I think that would make it over heat like it is at high speeds. wanted to see what you guys thought. When I flushed the motor I did it from the top hose by putting my garden hose in it and letting it come out the bottom hose it came out as fast as I put it in that is why I think it has no thermostat.

What are the symptoms of over heating you are seeing?

when I get up to highway speeds my car over heats I have changed the radatior . I don't think it has a thermostat. when I turn on the heater it seems to help a little. I can drive all day long no problem. It only heats up at highway speeds. Fans seem to be working also thay blow strong when I'm sitting still.

Do you still have the air deflector that is under the radiator? I put a horizontal panel on my '93 that fits between the front bumper and the bottom of the raditor. This will solve your problem.

It is some corrugated polypropylene, just like cardboard. They use it to make waterproof boxes out of.

Then it was just whittle it down until it fits. It is attached at the fender corners with existing screws and I drilled into the radiator support to secure it under the radiator. Slipped into place in the front.

Here it is before I installed it.

where did you get it at

I got it from work. It was scrap packaging. You can get sheets of plastic from the large lumber/hardware places.
