Fixed a leaking radiator hose, now the car idles around 2K RPMS
Seems like there might be a few things going on but here is the situation:
- My upper radiator hose started leaking, which resulted in very low levels of coolant
- The car sat for 5 days until I had time to fix the leak
- Pressure tested the radiator to verify the leaking hose
- Flushed the radiator and added new coolant
- On the first start up the engine idled at 2K RPMs all the way up to running temp
- The radiator bubbled and spilled out some fluid but eventually settled down
- The idle never dropped
- I filled up the reservoir and topped off the radiator
- After two more starts the idle returned to normal and I drove around the block
- This morning I started the car back up and the idle was back at 2K RPMs and the reservoir was almost empty and the there was no visible fluid under the radiator cap.
- I see no visible coolant leaks, I have not let the car running until warm again.
Any thoughts as to what is going on here?
Thanks,
Sean
