This is the story. My alternator went out. I did the autozone Mitsubishi alternator shuffle for about 3months until I found a used one on ebay for 60 bucks. Installed it with a new battery and everything works well. I also installed a new cam sensor and a new dis. But before this the car was jus sitting. After everything was installed and the car came back to life I let the car sit and run so all the new parts can configure themselves to the car. But I noticed when I turned the heater on it was blowing cold air even after like 45 minutes of idling it was ice cold in the car. So I drive the car around checking everything. I noticed the temp gauge was in the middle when it was idling. But when I drive the car down the road it begins to run very warm( check gauges and the check engine light came on) so I stop at the side of the road. I then realize the car was actually cooling off. After about 3min it retured to normal. No I'm super confused on the situation. So I drive it back home and on the way the heat decides to work. Which is a relief cause its freezing here in Detroit. As I drive I watch the temp gauge and it slowly creeps back up. And of corse when I park it the needle return to middle of the gauge.
Please help. It doesnt seem like a water pump or radiator problem cause the car is ok at idle. One guy told me its the supercharger that doesn't sound like anything to do with my problem so I decided to come on here and get educated answer from you guys. Has anyone ever had this happen?
