Argh. It's -2* in Cleveland today and I had to drive the Cougar to work without any heat!
Yesterday I was on my way out there and the car almost overheated. T-stat didn't open up. I slowly opened the radiator cap to find that yes, it was pressurized. I closed it quickly to avoid spraying fluid everywhere. After that, I started the car and everything was fine.
Today I was on my way to work and the car stayed nice and cool, but there was no heat through the vents!
A buddy recommended to swap out the t-stat because it may have failed in the open position. I'm also going to check to make sure the coolant level is where it's sposed to be. Changing it in the cold isn't going to be fun.
Any ideas?
