I let my car run in idle for about thirty minutes so I climb under it to check hose. First squeezing the front big hose of the thermostat while feeling the big hose on the out side of the thermostat. I noticed I could feel the coolant gush through as I squeeze but I also notice that the front hose was way cooler than the back hose, it was burning hot. Also, the fan was not coming on so I shut it off waited a while and did the same test. This time I turned the A/C on to get some fan play and I ran that car for an hour and it never overheated. Can someone tell me what I got going on? I was thinking a thermostat stuck in the open position, but would that bother my fan? Car is driving me crazy.
