Thats a little weird. Have you tried it with out a T-stat at all. You wont get any heat worth a crap. 
Cooling issues
Cooling issues Ok, here's my dillema. My cluster temp gauge has been acting up the last few weeks so I went ahead and installed a scan gauge to see if the pcm was getting roughly the same reading and they were completely different. I have been ignoring the cluster gauge but lately it has been getting hot so today I let it idle and the fans turn on when they are suppose to.
The thermostat is a 160 and I did have it out of the car earlier this summer and boiled it just for the hell of it and it was fine. Other then that I haven't messed with the cooling system all summer so unless an air bubble just appeared for no reason that shouldn't be an issue.
I have a custom radiator from OFI and 2 spal fans that are less than a year old.
When the car got hot only two radiator hoses were hot too. THe upper hose that goes to the t-stat and the small d.s. 90* fitting that goes to the lower d.s. radiator were hot and the rest were cold.
What do you guys think? I will try and bleed it but I wonder if the water pump has taken a **** hence no circulation and some hoses still cold? It isn't leaking out the weap hole and it isn't squealing.

The expansion tank I have to fill through is full. The car ran for probably five minutes and I shut it down at about 225. Not a drop of coolant came up through the bleeder.
