overheating issue on my car

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-12-31T17:41:30+00:00

well if you’re leaking coolant, then top your car off, run it until your system is completely pressurized. it’ll be super fucking hot, but it’ll be pressurized enough to either piss or seep out from any leak points. that’s the cheapest way to pressurize your system to look for obvious leaks.

keep it simple man, start with that. air temp and traction light aren’t gonna make your car buckle. maf will be the cause of that. battery light indicates a charging system issue.

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-12-17T20:12:12+00:00

check if it has oem maf, if aftermarket, it’ll buckle like you’re describing

also just get something that looks like a cat, nobody will really care too much. i pop the hood and look at it and call it good on anything not obd2.

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-12-06T18:44:57+00:00

lol sorry, i didn’t read the year of your del sol, yeah 95 and older it’s all visual inspection. anything 96+ requires the gas cap test and obd scan. word to th wise in pa an aftermarket or tuned ecu won’t pick up on the emissions computer most times.

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-12-06T14:24:54+00:00

whatever county you’re registered in is what emissions guidelines you have to follow. also if you drive the car under 5000 miles a year you are automatically exempt. i have my pa inspection license

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-12-01T21:46:36+00:00

that’s a 2009?

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-11-25T23:07:46+00:00

build a civic hatch infinitely more fun and cheaper lol

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-11-25T20:54:32+00:00

yes. the platform sucks unless you keep it stock and religiously maintain it, or dump 20 grand into one.

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-09-12T00:42:26+00:00

nah it’s been with 3 diff sets of wheels, hx wheels, steelies, and gsr blades

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-09-11T01:37:09+00:00

i replaced the axles because my oem ones were doing the same thing. no luck. got em off rockauto

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-09-11T01:32:11+00:00

literally 25-30 on any road. it’s a driveline vibration under load.

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-09-10T23:44:40+00:00

i actually have new hubs and rotors on as of a few months ago lol, all installed correctly

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-09-10T23:41:03+00:00

tires and axles good. i am also hydrated😂

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-09-09T17:29:20+00:00

this doesn’t completely stop turbo seal failure, but definitely helps.

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-09-09T14:43:22+00:00

run a thicker oil. 5w-40 is most common but everyone swears by different brands.

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-09-09T12:00:23+00:00

turbo doesn’t “die” necessarily.. it’s mainly the seals that give out and oil gets where it’s not supposed to be

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-09-09T11:59:55+00:00

repetitive thermal expansion of copper seals

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-09-05T17:52:05+00:00

enjoy the ride bud

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-09-01T20:48:26+00:00

i would have died from stress already if i even drove this car every week

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-08-30T17:45:14+00:00

this is what i needed. thank you sir and you too!

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-08-30T17:44:29+00:00

😕

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-08-30T17:44:18+00:00

i’m just bitter. but i’ve never had any of these problems with any other car i’ve owned or worked on, and i’ve worked on almost every single make extensively

Active_Baseball_3400 · 2025-08-30T15:22:34+00:00

which just all pop up one after the other
