Long as we are on fuel... how about the known issue with fuel tank baffles in the 92'*?

ok yall this might sound totally off the wall and be not even relevant, BUT... i noticed last night that it was running at the 200 mark or a lil above that and thought it was normal cause that is what our 94 SSE always ran at constant. But when i got home last night, i checked the coolant resevoir and it was bone dry. I filled it up and today me and mom go out in it and notice that it is now staying between 180 and 200 and is not having the same problem as it was last night or a few other nights. Could that have been the cause? could that be a clue to helping diagnose? Just noticed that tonight and figured i would throw it in

Yeah, so is mine...


If coolant did actually fix it, here is my theory: hotspots caused by airpockets introduced knock, and then lots of KR.
