Hey guys,
I recently bought a 1996 Trans am and not long after, the radiator cracked. I had just finished replacing the radiator and I was running the car to get the coolant level refilled. Well, I shut it off to prevent coolant from overflowing out of the top of the radiator (guess I put a little too much in), and when I tried to start it back up, it just kept turning over. If I let it turn over for a while, it would be barely running and would sometimes eventually get to idle speed. Also, I noticed that both my fans run before the car even warms up. It started up this morning after cooling down all night, but after a few times of starting it, it did the same thing. Also, even when the car starts up fine, I noticed that the SES light was on (wasn't on before). I never had a problem starting the car before.
I'm only 17 and I'm really just starting to learn. I don't know if this problem is something related to something I did wrong, or if it's just a coincidence. Alls I know is that I'm pretty frustrated! Any help would be greatly appreciated.
