Do you think I hurt it?
I've been driving the 77 as a DD just for the he11uvit since i got it a couple weeks ago. Have been watching all guages CLOSELY, as i'm used to doing with the race cars. Well it's made it to and from work (5 miles one way)lol 10 or so times, to the rents and back (60+ miles one way) twice, and to Raleigh (75 miles) and back this past weekend. As i'm pulling into the parking lot @ work today, I notice something is amiss, so i pull into a space and cut'er off. Almost imediately its spitting water/AF out of the puke-tank. I switch the key back on to check and sure enuff, the temp guage is PEGGED. (no #s just C and H)<- does anyone know what "H" is on a degree scale?
so i pop the hood and check the obvious (to me at least): oil = full, Leaks/breakage = none, and water = puking out. I leave it from then (1:30pm) untill quitting time (5pm). Got the ole lady (she doesnt mind the name lol) to meet me for a follow home / ride home depending. Check everything, fill 3 gal of h2o that puked out, and fire it up. No evident signs of damage (WOOHOO), i have to think SOMETHING was hurt as i noticed the engine not running well just before I cut it off. Clearly my fault for not watching the guages better Guess i need an ID-10-T light. Prob karma comin round to get me for poking fun @ the ID10T lites So anyways... if you made it this far, thanks for reading, and do ya think she'll be ok? Things to check/look for/ keep an eye on? ps. Drove it all the way home (5 miles) with no sign of heating. My only guess is T-stat sticking?
