once my upper hose popped the car turned off and i didnt even try turning it back on, i took it to phase2 and they ran a compression test, it was bringing out low #'s like 80, 70... the guy told me that it was suppose to be reading at like 150, i dont kno wat type of units those #'s were but thats wat he read off this gauge he was using.... and yea i wasnt kidding about taking off the thermostat, u dont need it, its only there to heat up the air u use for ur heater
