New GP!

Ok so I'm having a couple issues so far that I can't seem to track myself..
1- car gets up to 210* and no fans yet? New thermostat and intake gaskets with full radiator flush

2- when I turn the windshield wiper blades off they stay in upright position?

1. Did you bleed the cooling system after changing the gaskets and thermostat?

2. The park pawl for the wipers is likely bent. If you pull the cowl off the wipers and get to the drivers side you can bend the pawl back down where it needs to be so the wipers will park. Take a read through these posts and it should fix you up....

Yea I bleed it with heat on high and didn't bleed the system till around 190

IIRC fans don't kick on until you hit 220

Hmm.. Seems weird? I never had a 3800 run this hot before..

Alright well I've been missing the Grand Prix scene a lot lately.. Well this little guy popped up on the list yesterday and I talked to the guy and apparently the motor locked up from LIM failure.. He said over the phone that the lowest he would want to take is 450.. I feel like I could get it cheaper.. The body has 200k I believe if I did however get it I would be buying a motor and trans from a 2002 regal GS.. I understand I'll need the harness and PCM... But the only 2 things I'm worried about a 1) rust.. 2) he said the key is broke in the ignition...that kinda raises a couple flags for me because what if the motor is locked up and the passkey is messed up or what would I have to deal with to get another key in the ignition..

I should be be going to look at it tonight of course weather permitted last night we got hit with 11 inches of snow
