old cars can have wrong parts. easy as eating cheery pie.
or swaps. this old. 29 years old now. not some spring chicken , it is OLD OLD
so old now I see 1 per month on the road, rare,.
one trick is the drain out 1gallon of coolant (1/2?)
off the stat lid and look , put back lid , put back saved coolant above, and be ready.
or as you said both gaskets in hand first. (me that is what I do)
Will do. I plan on changing the ECT sensor and sender so I will drain some coolant anyways.
After this I have to figure out why the heater doesnt turn on AT ALL. The heater switch doesnt do anything.
Whats the easiest way to chase this? Is the culprit usually the blower motor resistor?
I can try and test these using parts from my 1996 Tracker. If the resistor may be the culprit I can remove it from my 96 kick and put it in my 92 to see if thats whats causing it....
