If you replaced the thermostat I would look next at the electric cooling fan thermostat.. Its likely located in the radiator itself and is in charge of turning on the electric fans.

To check. start the car and listen for the fan next to the radiator to kick on. It should start running before the car gets over heated.

Also when the temp gets really high is the radiator hot? if not then you still have a coolant flow problem. If the radiator IS hot then you have a problem with the coolant not getting cooled. Either an electric fan/thermostat of if you have an engine driven fan maybe its clutch is bad.

2004 Toyota Camry Hester does not warm up. When driven (not when at idle) the temperature gauge pegs out to highest then will slowly come down. Already replaced thermostat and temperature sensor, new fluid...

First, your engine will heat up to the temperature that the thermostat is rated for and when the thermostat opens the coolant will flow through the radiator and start to cool down. In order to have heat in the heater, the coolant must pass through the heater core. To find out if that is happening, locate the heater hoses and when the engine is warm and running touch them to see if they are hot. If they are not hot then there is a blockage in the heating system.

Drained radiator added prestone Radiator flush refilled and started overheating, drained radiator replaced thermostat and now I get no heat from heater,Radiator water is hot

disconnect the heat hoses going into fire wall , put hose into one with pressure and flush as it sounds like it could be bloked in the heater core,the other thing that could be the problem be the hot ,cold switch as it restricts the flow to makes the heater hoter or colder , it might need tlc or replacing as it is manaul not elec

I have a 1996 monte carlo it runs hot on the gage has no heat but never smells hot or anything. Gage will peg out and kick hot light on then come ack down and keeps doing that. Any solutions?

No heat sounds like the heater core isn't circulating. Dropping down, sounds like the thermostat is sticking for a while than working. That can be checked by feeling the hose when the temp is up. If it is hard at the hose where the flow goes in; I would consider changing the thermostat. It can be a bad circulation problem killing the themostat though.

Heat blows only when car is in drive when coming to stop light it blows cold air. Have added more coolant but it has not fixed the problem

Hello,

You problem sounds like a "Blend Door" issue, you have these doors that open & close and everything in between to adjust air temp. These doors have a "peg" that is connected to an arm or wire just like on a ten speed bike to shift gears, that peg may have broken off.

Another issue may be a stuck open thermostat, if you have a temp gauge is it running at normal temp? If the thermostat is stuck open then heat may become an issue.

I have found several 2007 Chevrolet Impala blend door issues here in fixya.com.

Hope this helps.

My 93 saturn sl1 is overheating. Could my thermostat be bad?

It could definitely be the thermostat. It is a cheap part to replace. If the car overheats while running down the road (not stop and go traffic), then it is almost certainly the thermostat.

Car over heating. tempature gauge fluxuates

Your overheating problems can have several possible causes.
1) Airlock in heating system - solution - bleed air from cooling system. Method is dependent on make/model of vehicle
2) Radiator blocked - solution - drain and flush radiator
3) Failed waterpump - solution - fit new waterpump
4) Engine thermostat stuck in closed position - solution - fit new thermostat
5) Electric cooling fan (if fitted) failing to operate - solution - check fan, fan operating switch, all wiring and connectors
6) Not enough coolant in system - solution - check and top up to required level. Also check all hoses for sign of leakage.
7) Faulty temperature gauge giving incorrect reading
