T'is a 99 Accord...
Was originally a dizzy 3.0 V6 which had mixing coolant/oil, developed misses, rod knocked and ticked. Tore it out engine after purchasing the vehicle and threw in a 00 coil over plug 3.0 V6.
Since the swap, my temp gauge never worked, and when I try to get heat, it'll blow cold air, on occasion you'll hear a trickle and get some heat.
Here is what I've done...
- Swapped temp sensor on t-stat housing.
- Swapped cluster and ECU from 00 donor car into my 99
- Flushed rad, heater core and that stupid valve individually to ensure proper flow, everything flows perfectly.
- Ran engine at 2000 RPM with rad cap off and heater on until fans kicked in to bleed system.
- Flushed hose going into resviour
Both heater hoses are hot to the touch, both rad hoses are warm to the touch, bottom one cooler than top.
No overheating issues. Car drives fine. Sometimes it will idle a little wonkie for a second, which I take as an indication of air in the system still.
At a total loss here... Any input on either issue?
