After I get my funds for my rebuild I'll do that. But the car is hardly ever driven right now because I'm to imberessed from all the smoke.

okay, still having a problem with the fans, he's not wanting to install manual fan switches, so we're left with a wiring problem I guess.

anyone have a wiring schematic for a 97, not a 95 like on shbox.com.

Did you bleed the water pump very well ? If the water pump has air in it, the water temp sensor wont get hot and turn the fans on. To bleed the water pump, you must jack the front of the car up... The higher the better. Then start the car and let it idle. Next, remove the bleed screws and dont replace them till there is a solid CONSTANT stream of antifreeze. I would be willing to bet this is your problem if you havent already done it.

Water pump was bled and everything. The fans were jumped so they would be on constantly ... But it still dies... No vacuum leaks either.
