So I am a very novice mechanic, actually just learning, piece by piece as my motor needs fixing.
I have a 86 sunsport.
The engine compartment is super hot!
I changed the thermostat to 160 degree one. However my thermostat gauge consistently stays at 180.
I checked the impeller and it is fine and delivering water.
I had problem starting it again after running awhile, as i think it was so warm in the compartment the carb had a hard time?
Well, I waited a while and it started again.
I did replace the coil (the piece that connects to the top of the distrubuter)
Long story short I would like to know why my compartment is so warm, and yes i know it gets warm, however it is much warmer than it was or should be.
Any suggestions would greatly be appreciated!
Thanks in advance.
