Yes,
But only if you opened up the closed system by replacing a thermostat, sensor or hoses.
If not more than likely a thermostat unless it is running rough. Then maybe internal engine damage.
Your hood is not locking in the closed position...the potential
for the hood to open fully while you are driving at speed is very
real and could put you in a very serious situation. PLEASE
have this repaired.
-open hood
-locate 4-8 screws near the weindshield that secure the hood to the folding arms
- unplug any light connections or windshield sprayer hose line (at the splice)
- unsrew the screws and have someone their to help you take the hood off
- when you put it back on have 2 people holding the hood to the joint arms and 2 people to screw the hood on
-tighten, but not too hard, the hood
- close hood and check its alignment and adjust screws as neccessary
- connect wires and hoses
- fully tighten hood
Sounds to me like a VACUUM HOSE LEAK under the hood. Both the CRUISE CONTROL and A/C control doors are vacuum operated. Where the LOOSE or BROKEN HOSE is the big question. With the engine running and the hood open , closely listen for a " HISSING " sound, and if you are lucky, you might find the source of your problems. Hope this helps.
Thes have a weak point with the pump in the tank. It is under a cap under the rear seat, get someone to turn the ignition on and listen if no noise give it a tap and see if it whirrs, slacken a pipe on the filter and see if there is pressure, if not the pumps are available from factors or on line.
Hi viper852004 , the only way you can do this is to remove the front grills and then you will be able to see the 2 sprung bonnet pegs, you will need to loosen the adjusting nut where it screws into the hood and unscrew it until it becomes unattatched from the hood, do this for both pegs and then you should be able to release the hood to fix the problem. the pegs will need to be reinstalled before driving the car as the hood will not close, hope this is of some help, regards mark.
