over heating issue (40th 370z GTM TT KIT)

98intrigue · 05-19-2011, 01:47 PM

I'm following your thread closely. I'm having overheating problems, too...but my AC still blows cold most of the time. My coolant temps and oil temps shoot up as soon as the car is stopped at idle.

We are installing new fans with a remote switch today. Hopefully, this helps. If not, the next step is replacing the radiator with an aftermarket one.

are these with the 2010 40th AV. only? because once i installed my oil cooler. i have never had an overheating issue. the on time i did was when trash blocked my intake. Check out the intake inlets and passages. and clear the radiator. Also NOTE: my ecu was upping idle from 700rpm to 1k rpm. and that caused the heating issue in a few situations. Found out it was because the 02 sensor and MAF sensor were both seeing different air flows then the ecu was used to.
Small trick let it idle for about 5 mins straight. shut it off for 5 min. and start up again. and it gets rid of that issue.

Hope my little notes help a little bit.
Peace \./

By overheating you mean the coolant right?
