@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair if the temperature stays normal but rises while driving would that also be faulty thermostats, I know these cars have dual acting thermostats.....but I guess I'm asking why would a similar car run hot while driving down the road ?

@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair so you didn't have to bleed the cooling system? & could a runner control valve cause coolant to build up more pressure & start leaking ?, i took of my runner valve trying to clean it and put it back on to find coolant starting to come the hose under my radiator cap from the end of the hose seems so much pressure caused a leak to start , no mechanic in my area seems to be familiar enough with intake manifold runner control valves.

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

@@FCES_Electrical_Sol the intake runner valve is driven by wire so there shouldn't be coolant around it, unless I misunderstood your question, I didn't bleed the cooling system after replacing the thermostat just start it and you should be good to go, you can let it idle for a few minutes without the cap on... it sounds like your problem is somewhere else... is it overheating?

[@FCES_Electrical_Sol]

@@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair no it's not overheating but it seems it built up some much pressure in the coolant hose that it created a leak right under the radiator cap , I just replace the radiator about 2 weeks ago , I was thinking that the intake manifold was dirty with carbon build up because I have fault codes (p0171) (p2017).

So since the 2007 Chrysler Sebring 2.4 L actually has two thermostats along with that sensor in the thermostat housing.. When I put in the new thermostat housing does it come with the internal thermostat already installed in it or do we have to put it in ourself? If so how do we put that deeper thermostat into the housing? Thanks

[@KITS_Auto_and_Truck_Repair]

King Sultan, you should rent a cooling system pressure tester from your local parts store and pressurize the cooling system, that will help you find your leak faster and it's pretty easy to do... but it sounds like your radiator is leaking or the lower radiator hose is leaking... Good luck!!!!

james dunn, your thermostat might be bad but white smoke on the tail pipe is not a good sign, you might have a leaking head gasket that's causing the white smoke, you should have a mechanic diagnose it for you... Good luck!!!
