HI Everyone:
My 1988 Spider is never good on cold starts, and especially as it's been sitting two weeks while I have been traveling, I started it up this evening and allowed it to warm-up.
Here's the weird part: When I looked again, it had pumped half of the car's coolant onto the garage floor through an overflowing overflow tank; squirting out through the top of the tank. Inside, the car was approaching major overheating, so I quickly shut down the car.
Question is, WHAT would make the coolant overflow tank overflow rather than to cirulate through the engine? My thermostat is just about a year old and has been working fine until today. Any ideas?
Thanks
Andy
