When we install this engine, apparently the Coolant Temperature Sensor Connector didnt hold fine, and the day we took the car out for first time, I really was courious because in the first 5 min or less the Temp in the gauge didnt move, and i knew something wasnt functioning correct. I kept the car running for about 5 min in total, when i felt like if the engine was shaking when i accelerate. At that point i stoped that car and check, and notice that Coolant TEmperature Sensor Connector was loose. I connected but may fault was not to check the Temp gauge at that moment. The engine didnt smoke at all but i was curious if the engine was damage. Because the last thing i wante to do is take that engine out again. AFTER THAT I HAVEN HAVE ANY OVERHEATING PROBLEM AT ALL, AND WHEN I GO WOT, ALL FUNCTION FINE AND THE CAR DOEST HAVE ANY FAULT AT ALL. But since i modified the engine i really didnt know if a am loosing some HP because of some damage to the engine. I HAVE TRY TO TAKE CYLINDER COMPRESSION, BUT IT IS ALMOST IMPOSIBLE BECUASE THE ENGINE IS HALF BELOW THE DASH.
I will apreciate your help.

 

That should be Ok it has happened to me before

 

did u ever read the temperature as being very hot on the dash?

 

hell it mighta not overheated at all.

 

No that was my mistake not to read the temp on the dash. But if the car hasnt gave any problem, should i be worried about it?

 

lol...you didnt look at the temp?....no i would not be worried

 

Will the fans work with than unpluged?

 

no a think the fans dont work

 

i am sure the car is fine. it hasn't over heated since then so it probly didn't overheat at that time. it stumbled because the bad connection.
