Check your coolant level after the engine has cooled and check radiator reservoir also . Its best to check with the engine cold because it more of a precise level then with the engine at operating temp. Plus you take a chance a getting burned really bad checking the antifreeze with the engine at operating temp also. On the side of the reservoir is a max fill line somewhere about half way down and with the engine cold,that's where the antifreeze level should be when its full. The reason the max line isn't at the top is because of expansion when the engine temp rises. Good luck and stay safe and keep us posted!

What kinda of car/ truck is it? If the fan stopped it might be a fuse, worst case the blower motor is bad.

If you have a 3.0 motor in this, it maybe that the thermostat is either in wrong or the thermostat temperature is wrong it should be a 190 or 195 degree thermostat. The other thing it could be is that their isn't enough antifreeze in the radiator. Check the radiator when cold fill if needed also check overflow and fill it to the low line on jug. Hope this helps.Good luck and Merry Christmas everyone.

My 1999 Saab 9-3 power steering stopped working, the cars engine got hot and started blowing out cold air, and the battery light came on and all electronics died soon after. whats wrong?

Sounds like your serpentine belt broke. It drives the alternator, p/s pump, a/c compressor, and water pump.

Heat wont work in my saturn

Your cars blower motor is probably shot from moisture and you should check the resistor also as it runs all the speed functions of the blower motor regards Chris

The heat in my 2005 Elantra will not work unless I am moving.

Change the thermostat and make sure to bleed the system of air when refilling with coolant.You should have lots of heat in a 2005 Elantra at idle or driving.

Is there any kind of check engine light on, or emissions light on? Sometimes when the ignition coils heat up they will short out and stop working, and after they cool down they will work again only till they heat up, then they will stop. If this doesn't help i would need more information to better diagnose whats wrong. Thanks, good luck, Bob

93 Jetta is overheating. Changed the thermostat and the pump is working. On idle the temp stays down, but while driving rises fast.

Check to make sure there is no air in the cooling system,and make sure the cooling fans are working.The cooling fans should come on,on there own,and go off on there own,without the ac or defrost on,make sure they are off.

Hyundai accent stops running after heats up

I had the exact smae problem and threw aaway a ton of money on bad "guesses" at what was wrong. The actual fix was replacing the crank shaft position sensor for 50 or 60 bucks. Swapped out bad for good and cars has run great every day since.
