Blown headgasket. Or air gettin into coolant system. Cooling systems are pressureized and thats how they can get so hot without boiling. If your getting air in the system it boils easily cause its not under pressure. Or also if you only have water in it and not a 50/50 mix of water and coolant

Over heating after about 30 min an the road

First check the coolant level and top up if needed. If it is within maximum and minimum level then check Thermostat valve which should open on reaching high temperature and thereafter it maintains optimum temperature needed for highest efficiency of the engine or timing should be checked which is other reason for overheating of engines.

I just reapir the overheating problem on my 2001 chevy silverado 5.3 2wd. I am still overheating...it is full of coolant...reservour is still at the fill line with GM dexcool coolant. The problem to begin...

If it overheated i would replace the thermostant and gasket, also make sure its full of coolant, after replacing the thermostat you may have air in system so let it run until stat opens it may boil over a little until stat opens then it will **** coolant into block when that happens fill with coolant, you will need to let it idle for a while before new stat opens, hope this helps, good luck, i think the stat went bad the first time it overheated.

1999malibuoverheating.was sucsessful in venting air from systym.drove car for a day with no problems.son took it on hiway 65-70mph car overheated lost coolant

The first thing is to make sure there are no coolant leaks,and next run the engine and feel both top and bottom hoses as it starts to run hot, if both hoses are not about the same (meaning hot) then you have a bad thermostant, if both hoses are hot then you may have a problem with the colling fan, most of the time its a bad thermostant or theres a leak in the system.

My 96 aurora keeps overheating and I already changed a leak I had in my heater hose. I believe the leak is coming from the left passenger side probably front or mid front.

It could be a faulty thermostate or a bad water pump. Water pump is on the passneger side where the fan belts are. Good luck

Overheating and blowing cold air. 1999 Grand Prix

It sounds like your water pump may have gone bad. The water pump pushes the antifreeze through the engine, heater core and Radiator which is regulated by the thermostate. Sorry for the bad news but i hope this helps, and Good luck

2001 Elantra Temp Fluctuates

This is caused by you coolant temp sensor you will need to also get a thermostate tp go along with it. This sensor goes bad on elantras all the time giving you a false reading and then finally your car will overheat causing major damage. spend the money to get it fixed now cause i see your out of warranty. joe hyundai tech ps check your top radator hose see if its leaking near the back clamp if it is you will see a white crust. get that fixed to if you see that. you will need a hose and clamp.

Overheating

1. start the engine and leave the radiator cap open.
2. put a cardboard cover or a rug in the front of you radiator.
3. let it runs 20 minutes or more, see if it is overheated and see the water or coolant in the radiator circulated or not. If not, as soon as you have already changed water pump. thermostate and check the hoses, no leak, I think your radiator was blocked.


Did you put stop leak before?
