[QUOTE="whiteboyz79, post: 5495381, member: 48639"] Ok long story short here.... Flushed the system twice, replaced stat, refilled and burped properly. Ran car for thirty minutes at IDLE with the heat and A/C on. Left vent cap slightly open the whole time and the car never went above half on the temp gauge. Got it the car and drove it for about two minutes and temp starting climbing again all the way to almost limp mode. However, I did notice that between half and "H" on my gauge I was noticeably losing power, as if my boost wasn't even adding any power to the engine. Another note is that I only filled the system with approximately 8 or 9 quarts of coolant/water, and correct me if I'm wrong but don't our cars take at least 15 quarts? I stopped filling because it was overflowing from the overflow. I was filling from the vent cap on the drivers side coolant tube to the head. ANY ideas would be appreciated. I also had code P1506 Idle Air Overspeed but I don't think that is causing my current debacle. This crap is enough to piss off the Good Humor man and it's really pissing me off so please help guys!!! Thanks in advance! [/QUOTE]
