Thanks again
What I've done: Replaced the thermostat.
General Info: My car gets to and stays at normal operating temperature in the usual fashion. Once there, the air coming in through the heater is warm enough to get the interior of the car to a near reasonable temperature. When evaluating the cooling system, I notice the upper hose from the thermostat/block to the radiator still isn't heating up, not does it feel like there is fluid in it. The coolant in the reservoir get fairly warm (over 100degrees F). The fans on the radiator never engage and I noticed they didn't this summer either. There is definitely not any obstruction in the lines (when I squeeze the upper or lower hose or hose, the coolant in the reservoir moves up and down).
I don't know whether to consider this a water pump issue, a ECT sensor issue or something else.
Anybody have any thoughts?? Many thanks.
I could not get the water pump off, and one of the bolts for the tensioner was behind the valve sprocket. Totally inaccessible. Changing all those components seems impossible without pulling the engine from the car.
1. Dirty fuel injectors. run a professional cleaning, not those cheap fuel additives.
2. Clean the throttle body, it gets really dirty and needs cleanig, basically it stops letting in enough air at idle, until you open it properly by pressing the gas.
You can use a rag with some wd40 or some throttle body cleaner fluid and wipe the gunk away.
Oil pump or pressure valve or blockage? Where is the oil pump and where can I get one?
Thanks in advance.
2. Starting - sometimes when I turn the key, it won't crank, just sits there with a (soft) high-pitched whine. Can re-try a time or two and it cranks up fine. Dealer checked out starter and battery cables, all secure, battery was new a couple years ago, had checked at Sears, still good. Any tips?
Thanks in advance.

Problem: With the headlights on all lights are functional EXCEPT the Right Rear driver's-side lights.
With the brake pressed, the right side will light up (the appropriate lights). Where might this problem be? I don't have a multi-meter available to check all the light sockets with the headlights turned on, but I know the lights themselves work and have power since they light up with the brakes applied....
Any thoughts?

My powersteering is leaking and I can not find out where it is coming out of. I am noticing fluid leaking out of the driverside closer to radiator. It is all under the radiator and I do not see any hoses that are leaking. Any ideas or does anyone have a Powersteering diagram for the Daewoo Leganza
Head gasket?? Cracked head??
After I removed the head it had bad pits between the water ports and it had to be welded and re surfaced. Only $194.00.
Bought new gaskets, head bolts and timing belt on ebay for great price. Today I started putting it back together.
The machine shop gave me a torque spec sheet. It said cylinder head torque 18ft/lbs +90 degree, +90 degree, +90 degree. Here is my Question, What does 90 degree three times mean???
I saw on line some where the torque should be 65 ft/lbs.
I need some help.
Thank you!!
No two ways around it, your cooling system needs a pressure check with the correct equipment. Most independent shops are very reasonable to diagnose the problem.
Aside from you actually carefully inspecting your hoses and finding the leak, you are out of luck without the proper tools.
