  1. No hydrocarbons. So the head gasket it ok. I've replaced the thermostat and radiator cap, and that helped a little, but no much. I think I'm gonna get a new radiator; it's more expensive to rod it out than to buy a new one. I'll keep you posted. Victor G.
  2. I have the exact same problem and was told by a mechanic that these vehicules frequently leak from the head, and that the gases escaping from the combustion cause the thermostat to malfunction. Either way, what he recomended was take it to an emmissions place and have them check the radiator fluid while the care is hot and running to see if there are exhaust gases in it. Heating a high speed then would be a sure sign of leaking head gasket. I'm gonna try it
  3. Any luck yet? I have exactly the same problem with exactly the same rig you have, same tranny and engine. How irritating to not be able to go over sixty with peace of mind, huh. Please let me know what you find. I'm going to start from the very beginning with replacing the small stuff. Thanks. Victor You can email me at vgonzalez4630@yahoo.com appreciating any info.
  4. Did you get this problem fixed? I am having the exact same problem on my 88. I think it may be a plugged radiator. Thanks
