Club Events / Re: 25th Annual Run For The Hills--Sept. 25-27

Always welcome!  I recommend that you book your rooms ASAP.

Dunno if shirts are still possible, before the event.

I've been saying it's a 195-degree thermostat, but it's a 180-degree thermostat.

Randomly, yes.  Mostly, it ran cold.

No, but I did run about 150 miles, without the thermostat.

This one is just random, for the most part.

I didn't have a better name.  I need 4, but only have 3.  My '88 does not have these, that I've found.

Good question.  I have been thinking about that.  The pump I left to be installed, back in 2016, had a metal impeller.  Lots of my parts that I had bought and left to be installed somehow vanished.  No, I don't know.  The water pump was replaced.  That I do know.

Are these symptoms of an impeller that isn't turning?

I did not want to mention the water pump, because that could be leading...

Tech Tips, Tech Questions / Overheat?
« on: September 10, 2020, 04:34:43 pm »
Here are the facts:
1.  The temp gauge intermittently reads hot, sometimes to the red
2.  The indicated temp can read hot while driving at speed, or while slow/stopped, but usually is a slow/stopped thing
3.  The temp gauge has been calibrated, and is believed to be correct
4.  When the temp is reading high on the gauge, the temp on the sensor frame does read high, using the laser thermometer
5.  No change, with the shield installed or not
6.  No change, with the thermostat installed or not, although different thermostats have been tested
7.  The CTS reads 188 or 189 (laser thermometer and ECU), even when the gauge reads hot
8.  The coolant fan does come on on occasion
9.  The temp gauge sometimes jumps around, sometimes as much as 3 tic marks
10.  The coolant system has been flushed and burped 3 times, with no change

Other relevant facts:
1.  No temp issues, prior to swap
2.  The radiator and coolant hoses have been replaced, still no change
3.  The car can sometimes be driven for hours, with the temp staying normal

Any ideas?

The Market / Sad-eyed washers?
« on: September 10, 2020, 04:10:50 pm »
I have several washers that have off-center holes.  Having never seen such things before, I donxt know what they are called, or where to find them.  The local hardware and auto stores had no idea.  The parts book was also not helpful.  Anyone know where to get such a thing?

Which alternator?  The '85-'87, or '88?

It'd be awesome if such functionality could be built into the car, so that it was always connected, and never in the way.

Well, the good news is that the engine isn't overheating.  The bad news is that the gauge shows that it is.  I can't blame the gauge, due to how hot the sensor itself gets.

If we don't control the gafiero.org domain, we should update the facebook page to the gafieroclub.org domain.
