HELP!!!! over heating ok guys so i recently have been preparing the car to go through inspection cause i have to go through a sniffer test. anyways i hooked up my egr and put two cats on it mind you ive never overheated with cats off. so i have a feeling that they are the culprit could i have clogged them being there brand new Catco's? ( i only drove it 5 mile )
Also i have blocked off a few water lines coming off the water pump actually 2 of them ( if facing the one at the botom left small one and the the small one up top ) im pretty sure these are the heater core ones?
any help would be appriciated thanks

Here's a couple diagrams.

Check to see that your fans are comming on at 226* (low speed) and 235* (high speed). Also open up your radiator and see if you are low on coolant. It's possible that your thermostat has gone bad.

ok thanks for the diagrams i was correct in my block offs which i was pretty sure i was i did find that yes the Cats clogged almost instantly mind you i only drove it for 5 miles or so before this happened. anyway i took both cats off and attempted to run it through DMV ( my buddy passed his honda with out one)
Anyway i got to DMV later today and FAILED lol they didnt even put the sniffer in he bypassed it and went straight to the Decible and i failed Limit is 100 i was 104.8. also failed for no cats and a few other things.
Will be back soon i have to order a tune cause its boggy in low rpms
Thanks
Steve
