Hey all, I have been all over this section looking for a possible answer. I really didn't find what I was looking for, so maybe you all could help me.
I have a 2003 Impala with a 3.4L V6, and I just had the thermostat changed, I just had the Engine Temperature Sensor replaced. I filled it with antifreeze. Now, the main problems have been happening since I got the thermostat and ETS changed, but the engine is wanting to run hot (well it gets to the edge of the red line, but doesn't go past it). I took it to a mechanics they changed my thermostat and ETS for me, I don't know if they bled it, ( i saw that on here somewhere). I will try a new radiator cap, I am just wondering if there is something else I should check.
I'm not mechanically inclined, but Im not rich either. So if there is something I can do to make this problem go away, lay it on me. If not I will be sending this back to the mechanics and have them take a whack at it and my wallet.
Also, the heater is wanting to run cold air....it's not warming up. This didn't happen until AFTER I had the thermostat and ETS switched out. Until then, the heater was running ok.
Could I have a leak into the heater core? Something more serious? Any help would be appreciated.
