Some possible causes of the high coolant temperature...........
1. The radiator fans are not kicking in when the temp rises.
2. The water pump may be working but if the impeller blades have corroded badly the performance of the water pump will be very poor. (Some water pumps used by some manufacturers have plastic impeller blades and over time these blades will break apart).
3. The thermostat is stuck partly open and is retarding 100% coolant flow through the radiator. The thermostat needs to be fully open for maximum coolant flow from the engine to the radiator.
4. You have a partial blockage in the cooling system which is retarding coolant flow. This may be in the radiator or in the cooling passages in the engine.
5. Check if you have bubbles in the radiator. Wait for the engine to cool and start the engine. Take off the cap and wait for the thermostat to open and for the hot water to begin flowing through the top hose into the radiator. Then watch for any bubbles appearing in the coolant. If there are bubbles continuously it is an indication of a combustion leak into the cooling system and that will cause overheating until the problem is fixed. In that event have a leak down test carried out on each cylinder to confirm that the combustion is leaking into the cooling system..
Have the problem, whatever the cause, investigated and fixed. Allowing the engine to run hot will cause very expensive engine damage many times what it will cost you to fix the cooling issue you have now.
SOURCE: why cant i do a burn out in my 94 caprice
Burning out a regular car is a whole other matter, and cannot be done well in any old car (especially four cylinders) as they typically do not have the power/weight and torque dynamics, and obviously have the wrong kind of tires. Doing a burnout on street tires makes a lot of smoke, removes layers of expensive rubber, and accomplishes nothing of dynamic significance besides enjoyment. It can be done though.
SOURCE: what is the 94 Chevy Caprice Classic wiper arm
heres a wiper linkage asm diagram, the wiper washers are on the hood or on the cover to deck,then the hose runs through the wiper arm to a nozzle, if you remove the arms you can lift cover enough to look at the hose to washer connection,also check hose to arm they often break there good luck.
