Need more info. If exhaust is not white with Steam, it will be a thermostat problem more than likely. There are usually two. Mechanical one is in the engine and electrical one is in the radiator. Mech one is most suspicious.

SOURCE: I have no interior heat. Boiled over 2 weeks ago.

there is two things. one is low coolant the other and most likely is heater core is plugged flushing the coolant causes things to loosen up stuff and it gets stuck in the heater core if you take heater hoses off and back flush the heater core with a garden hose and you will have better heat then you ever had.

What have you checked so far, and how long does it take for the boil-over to happen ?

SOURCE: I have 2000 dodge intrepid no heat I put antifreeze in resivoir works for a little bit park car drive again no heat again, temp reads at half mark I park car antifreeze is coming out over flow hose

Sounds like a bad thermostat. If the thermostat is not working, the system doesn't know the real temp of the engine and things like the antifreeze and heating system work wrong or don't work at all. Take it to a mechanic to check things out.

indicates that the thermostat was installed incorrectly and is not getting hot water to the bulb to open it
the body of the thermostat has to face the head or block water and not face into the hose

My Nissan Sunny overheating n water finishing in the radiator tank,what could be the problem?

no year car told (age matters and miles)
not sure what finishing means at all. sorry #2
FLUSHING?
tell all evidence of over heating from a list.

  1. coolant on the ground
  2. explosive steam and coolant blasting to the top of the Radiator over flow bottle (plastic).
  3. coolant on front passengers toes leaking heater core or 2 hoses there leaking.
  4. dash gauge heat pegs
  5. radiator neck cap off each morning show missing coolant there.
  6. engine pings (knock/detonation) to hot.
  7. engine power drops lots. or even stalls.
  8. scans of PID name ECT shows temps from 225 to 265f, 50%AF antifreeze boils at 265f so that.
  9. see coolant under hood leak or spray or drip anywhere there,
  10. water pump drips or oozes.
the next is is bigger list true causes.
ask or get the car checked out at a real shop.

If i just put water and no coolant could this make my car over heat

No your car will not overheat, but it is advisable to my 50% coolant on the water to prevent deposits of rust and other debris that may affect the effectiveness of the cooling system.

Heater will not get hot. I have replaced water pump and thermostat

Make sure you have a good 50/50 solution of coolant. too much antifreeze solution can effect heater operation. test the heat hoses and make sure both hoses are hot .if one is hot and one not so hot the heat core could be restricted and needs flushed out

1991 Cadillac Fleetwood. The heater was working on passenger side but not that warm. Added antifreeze. Seems to be leaking it. Keep adding. gone thru 2 gallons. How do i get heat.

If you've added two gallons of antifreeze, you need to find out where it's going. Make sure the antifreeze you are adding is diluted with water in a 50/50 solution. Pure antifreeze has little freeze protection and boils quickly. If there is no visible leak, check your oil for coolant contamination. Fill the radiator and leave the radiator cap off. Put the heater controls on hottest setting, but do not turn the heater on. Start the engine and watch the coolant. If the coolant level drops, add more to full. If the coolant is flowing thru the radiator when you first start the engine, the thermostat is stuck open and needs to be replaced. If the water is not flowing, then keep an eye on it and wait for the thermostat to open. Add antifreeze to keep the radiator full. Look for air bubbles or lots of foaming in the coolant. That would indicate a blown head gasket and the reason you are losing antifreeze. If there's no bubbles, and the coolant level stays full, put the radiator cap back on and see if the heater is working better.

Over heating i have water in the radiator do i have to put some radiator fluid in so it wont over heat?

Hi,
You need to check that the water is flowing first, with the engine cold remove the radiator cap and start the engine let it run until it gets warm, once it is warm leave it going until you can see the water flowing. If you can't see it flowing after 10-15 mins of the engine running then you will need to replace the thermostat.
If the water isn't flowing then you have a problem with the water pump and you will need to replace this.
Hope this has helped

Temperature problem

Make sure you have 50/50 mix antifreeze, it will still run hot if you have 100% antifreeze. As the antifreeze get's hot, it turns in to gel and the flow slows down and the heat exchange will be reduced. Water is great in transferring heat but it will boil over so antifreeze is added to keep it from boiling over, so a 50/50 (water/antifreeze) mix is used. You can go a bit higher with the antifreeze but try not too and in the winter you can go 40/60 (water/antifreeze) if your in really cold climate area. The other thing to is do you have electric radiator fans?? Think you do, make sure it's working. When you turn on your A/C the radiator fan should come one and also when the temperature  gauge hits 180 - 195 degrees the fan should come on too. If not check the fuse, relay's and wire harness to the fan. Good luck and hope this helps.

2001 Hyundai Accent. Heating and stalls

If the water tends to keep going down then there has to be a leak somewhere. Try also looking at the hose coming from the overflow tank and see if the hose might be kinked. You might also be blowing antifreeze out the tailpipe. Take a look and if there is bluish white smoke then you have confirmed that theory,

1990 Toyota Cressida Antifreeze leaking badly

Your cooling system is what keeps your car from having a meltdown. If you didn't have some way to cool things off, your engine would turn into a solid block of useless metal in no time flat. All of the parts that make up the cooling system have one goal of moving coolant around the engine so it can absorb and dissipate heat. The basic system is made up of the following components:
  1. radiator
  2. radiator top hose
  3. radiator bottom hose
  4. water pump
from your problem u stated
Checking for the problem I saw some a lot of antifreeze on the bottom of my engine covering or whatever it is (not the hood).
looking at the parts involved its probably not burning in the engine unless the car has overheated to much, it sounds likes its one of ur delivery or return hoses from the motor that is leaking. do a close attention to detail to your hoses and components related to the cooling system, u may not see the leak from the top since gravity will draw the fluid down
