Thought about Head gasket also so this morning went and rented coolant system pressure checker. System held 18 lbs pressure for 1 hr no problem. No steam from tail pipe, no water in oil.

Hey Everyone! I am looking for a little advice on a 1986 with a 2.9 L . The engine had ran fine then thermostate went out and it overheated.

Is this possible? having a problem like this and no codes? Should i run the engine for a while then ...

Fuel pressure regulator actually looks new. No fuel bypass thru the vac hose. Could the EGR cause these symptoms? Is there a way to check this the manual isnt real specific other than unplug the vac line and see if it runs better.

Thanks I will check this morning and let you know!
