2001 dodge Intrepid 2.7. Changed the radiator, thermostat, hoses and such mut why is it doing this? Going to change the water pump tomorrow
It still overheats after running for 5 hours.?
Sorry to find this funny but you seem to be in the same boat as me but ive got a nissan patrol.
Now have you checked to see if your clutch fan is going? Check this.
How is your thermo fan?
When does it occour, when your going stoped, on the highway etc?
Are you loosing water or oil?
Hows your timming?
Keep us updated and good luck.
It still overheats after running for 5 hours.?
hope you didn't warp anything?
well for starters check the oil and then if that aint the problem then look for leaks clocked hoses

2001 Saturn SC1 Radiator Drain Plug?
Water is shooting out when started. Changed the hose and it still is happening. Could the drain bolt be missing? If so is located right by the hose down under? I really need to get this fixed and I don't wan to pay the price at the shop.

How about telling us where the water is shooting out from? Your drain plug is located on the bottom of your radiator. Start the car up and see where it is coming from.

If the drain plug is missing it won't take long for yoru fluid to completely exit the system. I doubt your drain plug is missing. You need to find the source of where your fluid is shooting out. You need to open the hood and try and locate the source, but take great care as that fluid will be very hot.
I bought a Chilton book for an Ion, not the same, but the radiator drain plug for mine is, when looking up from under the car, hidden behind some of the frame, but from the top, looking down under the hood, isn't hard to see as it is to reach (skinny arms helpful), and isn't very big, so it took a good look. I Hope you didn't lose it, if it's like mine, it won't be fun to replace.
it sounds more like the radiator has a hole in it. if and when you find the hole then use some jb weld on the hole, let it sit for about a hour or 2 before filling it back up.

Water is not staying in radiator?
Heads gaskets replaced, new radiator, new water pump, oil change etc. I have to fill the radiator everyday with water. There are no leaks or puddles on the concrete. Water does not bubble with cap off and engine on and there is no water in the oil or coming out of the tailpipe. The previous owner took the water reservoir out to make room for a cold air intake. There is no water reservoir nor a hose running from the radiator to the reservoir. There is just an opening where a hose would go by the radiator cap. Could the missing reservoir and hose be the cause of the water leaking from the radiator? 1995 Honda Accord EX VTec.
Water is not staying in radiator?
Yes. Water expands when you heat it.
When the pressure rises the radiator cap vents to that reservoir,
and the water is drawn back when it cools.
That's why you're loosing water.
That reservoir, and its tubing are necessary.
(The 'previous owner' was an A**H*le not to warn you about this.)

How to change a thermostat on a 2002 dodge stratus 2.7?
I know u hav to follow a hose from the radiator to sum thing and the thermostat goes there, but i can't take that thing off because there is sum strange looking black thing on top of the fourth bolt i have to take off. I cant take that black thing off i've taken all the bolts off on the top of it but it wont come off. I need to know how that thing comes off or if there is another way to change the thermostat

that t-stat is on the passenger side of the engine block. i think you have to get it from the wheel well if i remember right.

Can you help me with this problem I have with my car?
My radiator was leaking, I changed the radiator and all the hoses and when I got done water was shooting out of the tailpipe... what the heck is going on there? It acted like the thermostat was stuck, because there was alot of pressure on the hoses, so I took the thermostat out and there is still alot of pressure on the hoses and it shot water out of the tailpipe. it is weird. If you can help me with this I sure would appreciate it.Thank you very much.

hyouve aa blown hEad gasket
Can you help me with this problem I have with my car?
are you putting water in the engine coolant tank
did you overheat the engine?, sounds like you have a bad head gasket.
You have a severely cracked head,not you ...the cars head.
You need to replace your head gasket.
Have fun. O_o%26quot;
bad head gasket,cracked head or cracked block. if you don't have right tools to diagnose take it in
Blown head gasket. It's going to cost you at least $700.

My 97 camaro is overheating. ive changed the water pump thermostat flushed d radiator new coolant?
I've changed everything but the temp sensor I dnt know if its sending the wrong info because even when I have the a/c on and fans are working it still over heats. I've done everything bleeded the air out and changed hoses and still the same

Are you sure it's overheating? You can't always trust the gauge on the dash. A mechanic needs to check the temp of the radiator using an infrared meter or a mechanical temp gauge. Other than that, suspect a head gasket leak, or maybe the timing is off, or some water passage is blocked somewhere. Flushing the radiator doesn't necessarily mean the radiator is now clear either.

You may want to check for blown head gasket. Was the car over heated before you replace all those cooling parts?
Check and adjust the timing with a time pistol maybe is just that, check if is any water on your oil lets hope there is nothing there and is just the timing. other wise maybe you have a crack head, Also make sure you have the correct cap in the radiator maybe is just that the pressure that goes with that particular car because you maybe have a bad cap and that will be simple buy a new one in any auto parts.
I hope is nothing mayor and you will be a happy driver again.
Sounds like maybe the radiator core could use a good professional rod-out. But are you sure it is really running hot and that the coolant temperature sensor signal is not faulty? I suggest you use a radiator temperature thermometer (or a meat thermometer) to probe the coolant temp to verify the temperature sensor signal.
check the head gasket. and get a new radiator. they run for about 300 but its worth not having to spend 1000 for head work. if it constantly overheats u may already need headwork

1993 ford explorer wont start?
i have a 1993 ford explorer that i let someone use. it blew the top radiator hose and blew coolant all over the engine .he pulled over and called me. when i went to fix it he said he tried to add water and start it but it would not start, so i tried to start it up before i changed the hose and seemed like it there was no spark.
i got it home and changed the coil pack thinking it shorted it out,but no change.
will it still start with no water in radiator?
can it short something else out getting soaked that would cause it not to start?
it sometimes sounds like it wants to fire but not enough to start.
any suggestions?
1993 ford explorer wont start?
Dose the motor sound diffrent when you turn the motor over? (Trying to start the motor)
1993 ford explorer wont start?
first add water then with the rad cap removed, crank eng see if water shoots out of the radaitor.if so you might have a blone head gasket.do a comp check to see if you have eny compreshion.if it does then try to hold the gas peddel all the way down, ang keep cranking the eng but not to long you will burn out the starter.and also check the spark at the plugs.
# 1 get water in it, you will damage the water pump seal if it runs without water / coolant. Next check the throttle position sensor located on the throttle body, it my be wet /damaged. If you have a distributor there may be moisture in or on the dist.. If you have a real dark garage take it in there and after dark open the hood, have someone crank the starter and watch carefully from all angles for obvious sparks that indicate a short or ground. This method can save a lot of time.
.if your engine was in good running condition before ,,it should start by now,,what happen is you flooded the engine when you tried to start it while its still wet with coolant ,since it should be dried by now and the gas inside the engine evaporate it should start,,,
yes it will still run with out water ,but only to test ,do not driv e
but if still wont start check spark plug or replace if you have not have a tune up yet.. the reason is sometimes when the old spark plug got soak with gas and it try to fire ,they get
fouled up ..
make sure everything is dry before you try to start it again, clean coolant around engine,
always remember that when you start a car for a long time
lot of unburned gas stay inside the cylinder causing it more not to start,
