Fuel lines and overheating?
Hey guys,
Strange thing today: I took my car to the local mechanic so that he could fix what I thought was a fuel pressure regulator leak but what really ended up only being a slightly cracked hose. My car had been running hot (3rd line) for the past month before when the fuel started dripping (i know I waited too long to fix it). Anyways, after I got my car back from the mechanics I went out and drove it for about 30 min (which used to be plenty of time to get it to heat up past normal) but it wouldn't move past the middle line! Have ANY of you seen a correlation between a fuel line leak and overheating before? I am clueless as to what could have caused my car to act differently in regards to heating. Anyways, any ideas?
