If your engine is overheating, Try this procedure:

  • Dirt and debris can get lodged in the radiator air flow paths. This can block the radiator and cause your engine to overheat and damage the engine

  • Make sure the radiator and the overflow bottle are filled to the proper levels.

  • Bleed air from the coolant system:This is best done by running the engine with the radiator cap off until you see when the air bubbles stop coming up.

  • Check the radiator fans: The easiest way is to turn on the cars air conditioner and turn up the A/C fans. Both radiator fans should come on when the A/C starts

  • Make a pressure test by using a pressure testing tool (available at most auto parts stores). Use the pressure shown on your radiator cap. Most cars are 16 PSI or less, so don't exceed that pressure. Replace the radiator cap if it doesn't hold the pressure.

Probably the water pump, when the engine is completely cool, open the radiator cap, start the engine, turn on the heat full, and check to see if you have circulation at the radiator cap nosal you should see movement of water if pump is good....

I just rolled my 98 buick skylark i want to know how to repair it and how much it would cost

with out knowing exactly how long it was running for upside down I would suggest that the engine is damaged It may have a hydraulic lock in a cylinder ( full of water)
If the car was upside down, I imagine considerable body and panel damage
Best advice is to save your money , junk it and get another mobile car.

Changed engine gaskets and upper intake manifold after antifreeze mixed with the oil and plastic manifold was no good. now I fill te radiator after repair and water goes right to the crankcase and oil pan.

Some where you have lost integrity of the cooling system allowing it to enter the crankcase. If the coolant goes directly into the oil, the problem should be obvious. If you send the year, make and model I may be able to help you locate it. If it overheated, the cylinder head may have cracked.

Troubleshooting a 1992 buick skylark engine surges

If it is surging up and down, then i would say that it is a bad oxygen sensor, or a leaking intake gasket. Hope this helps.

I just recently changed the heater core and added antifreeze to my 1990 Buick Skylark (2.5L) and noticed recently that the fluid level in my antifreeze reservoir is low. Wanted to know what the antifreeze...

There should be a fluid capacity chart in your owners manual. You can also just go ahead and fill the reservoir to the proper level with coolant and keep an eye on it. If after a week you notice it low again and you still can't find the spot where the leak is, I'd try using some good old stop leak. Also, take a look at your oil to see if it has coolant in it. If so, it will have a brownish grey sludge gathering around the oil filler cap. If that's where your coolant is leaking, you may have a leaking head gasket and that would explain why you can't find a leak elsewhere..

Car losing antifreeze water, no visable leaks, car overheating. 1998 buick century, v6

if you have no visible leaks and it is overheating then it sounds like you have a head gasket leak internally.the coolant is going some where .get the cooling system pressure tested to make sure you don`t have a leak externally.if the coolant is not leaking out the radiator then this indicates the thermostat is not stuck.what ever the problem is change the thermostat at the time of repair.

I have a 1995 buick skylark. There is a 1/2" hose that comes out of the fire wall on the passangers side of the car in the engine compartment. the hose is a 90 degree elbow and then just stops. There is...

That hose is to let the condensed water out of the box(from the AC system) If antifreeze is coming out there ,has to be a leak in the heater core. Hose is supposed to just direct the water to the ground,open on the end.

is it water or coolant, and do you have water in the radiator or antifreeze, i asume you have coolant so the leak is water then it coming from the heater box which is normal, the water is condensation from a/c so if the a/c is on or defrost you will get water drain out this is normal operation.hope this is helpful.
