Engine Cooling problem
1995 Ford Contour 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Manual
engine gets exhausted and wants to quit after 20 to 30 min running. I have bought a new thermostat, and manually tested and works, tried to flush the system. the temperature guage works properly and reads normal now after flush and new coolant, before was reading above normal when gets hot. there is no water mixed in with oil, and no white smoke out the tailpipe. runs good till 20 to 30 min then bogs down to very rough idle radiater hose to thermostat has lots of pressure the whole time like the thermostat isnt opening..... could this indicate a head gasket leak? or faulty water pump, or possible heater core blockage??? there is no heat anytime since first time it got hot
