Wow, lot of verbiage. let's see if I can follow it. The car does not over heat and the top hose gets hot. The water in the top of the radiator was not hot. If I have that all right then I think your thermostat is bad or the water pump. At least start with the thermostat and lets see what you have. Even a cheap top hose could suck in and not be bad.

My 2005 Thunderbird check engine light has been on for months. It has been to shop over and over. They have replaced the battery, changed some sort of sensor, the gas cap is tight and I filled the tank completely and also had the oil changed. They keep saying the scanner says it needs a new map sensor but they then checked with the local Ford dealer who said the car doesn't have a map sensor. What's up? 5 Answers
