Still Running Hot
my car still runs hot, on the freeway, in town, at idle, everything. i have a 160*tstat, brand new fluid, fans turn on.
could it be the PCV? i haven't ever replaced it.

No it won't be the PCV.Originally posted by sk8boy7789
Are you sure the system doesnt have any air in it? (you have to bleed the LT1)
When the fans kick on does it blow hot air? I took a whole page of a newspaper out from in front of my radiator one time. Make sure the air flow is clear. If the air is hot the water is flowing through the radiator. If it is not hot there is something blocking it or there is air in the system keeping the water from absorbing the heat from the engine.2002 Electron Blue Vette, 1SC, FE3/Z51, G92 3.15 gears, 308.9 RWHP 321.7 RWTQ (before any mods), SLP headers, Z06 exhaust, MSD Ignition Wires, AC Delco Iridium Spark Plugs, 160 t-stat, lots of ECM tuning

I agree..... bleed the coolant system again. Sometimes it takes a couple of tries sometimes.
Make sure you didn't suck up a plastic bag in-between the radiator and condenser......
