Overheating in 1987 Corolla AE82 4 door sedan

I think it's a corolla with the 1.8L but here's all of them made for the U.S. LOOK UP THE PHOTOS AND YOU WILL SEE YOUR CAR ///// CELICA /// COROLLA///CORONA =I WISH I WAS DRINKING ONE NOW//CRESSIDA///LAND CRUISER ///PICK UP ////TERCEL

Sounds like you have a leaking cylinder head gasket, have a shop run further diagnostics.

1 3 4 2 firing order for toyota corolla 1987 1.6 or 1.4 2a sedan

Please solve this problem, my car COROLLA 1988 automatic 1.6 has the same problem!!!!!

did you try replacing the sensor again? you could have got a bad one?

The Cooling System Must Be Bled / Burped of AIR or this Will Happen.

you've got a possible blockage in the head or block.

the switch will be under the dash just above your brake pedal.. it's should look like a rectangle with cylindrical ends that can be pushed in and out.

Hi and welcome to FixYa,

Offhand, overheating as you described could be caused by:

• too soft rubber upper/lower radiator hoses;
• radiator fan clutch (is one is used) would need additional silica oil;
• radiator fan relay switch;
• radiator thermostatic switch for the fan.

A couple of ideas you may want to explore/consider:

• wire the radiator fan directly to the IGN B+12;
• remove the thermostat (not applicable in cold climate);
• check water/coolant ratio (50/50);
• some radiator fans will only work if and when the A/C or heater is engaged.

Good luck and Thank you for using FixYa.

Pls be informed that due to my current rank and rating, even a Helpful would be detrimental to my status. Should this solution not address your concern, it would be appreciated if you could just not rate it at all. Cheers.

a dropped/disconected starter solenoid cable is a good candidate, a heavy cable runs from the battery to the starter, a lighter cable runs from the ignition to the starter solenoid, the ignition key throws the solenoid which engages the starter pinion gear in the flywheel, and connects the cable to spin the starter motor. even loose may not be producing enoug current to fully engage the starter.
there is a fusible link in the battery cable that is a good candidate.
if the battery were disconnected during alternator changeover, look for loose cables at the battery posts, and corrosion on the posts.
if the battery was not disconnected look for collapsed positive plates on one or more cells of the battery..
