A few symptoms but from what ive read im not sure where to look
So my wife has a 2002 Firebird 3800 series V6. There are a few symptoms that worry me. First, the car runs
hot, even if i have just filled it with coolant. To go along with that, the coolant just disappears, no leak, none in
the oil, just gone. The water pump and thermostat have been replaced but thats apparently not the issue. Then
recently, i just changed the oil in the car and now the oil pressure gauge is fluctuating alot. To me this would
mean that if the oil pump isnt doing its job, the pressure would drop (of course) and cause it to run hot. But the
pressure gauge is a recent development. Im kinda dumb founded at this point and its becoming a pain
because my wife doesnt have a car until i get this fixed. A definite answer would help. I see alot of different
speculations but i need a good answer so i know where to look and not end up spending money on things that
dont need fixing.
Thanks in advance
