Huh? (Part 2: TB Bypass)
’92 LT-1
Hello again,
I did the TB bypass yesterday and when I went for a drive my “Low Coolant” light came on. I double-checked the coolant level after the car was hot and it was just fine (I had filled it back up after leaking some during the tb bypass). I felt both sides of the hoses (the ¾” and ½” hoses) and both were very hot which means to me that coolant is flowing through there just fine. The “Low Coolant” light goes on & off intermittently but is on for most of the time. Any thoughts?
Thanks again,
Mark

There's a small screw on top of the thermostat housing to take all the air out. Just don't get the opti wet!

It's best to lay a rag down around the burp screw.

Sounds like a burping is in order. IIRC, the coolant level sensor is under the neck of the top radiator tank. You did re-fill at the upper tank (vs. the lower recovery tank), right?
