I cut if off and cruise untill i need to get more speed. Car will be parked untill problem is fixed... So, what im thinking is that the WP is messed up but, it has a metal impellar...... Thermastat could also be closed/open. Just wanted to check with ya'll before i dig into it. hm....time for a 3L???? 98 CSVT t-red 1737# cf1 Cowl hood Centerline Storms CEG Dragon Run- Oct 13-15 WTB- Vortech S/C kit/ADC Turbo Kit
