SOURCE: Bublling in the thermostat housing and very hot upper radiator hose

I recommend flushing the radiator thoroughly if not done recently. there seems to be some sort of blockage in the radiator at this time. if you get lots of metal fragments that are flushed out during this flush, i will then recommend a rebuild on the radiator or replacement of the radiator. make sure the cooling fans are cycling on time as well.

SOURCE: Overheating engine

Check your oil dipstick for coolant, or a mucky substance. Your symptoms sound like a blown head gasket.

it could be the radiator isn't working properly, I had that problem with my Dodge truck and even though my radiator had been replaced two years earlier when I took it to a radiator shop I discovered it was bad and that was the problem the whole time.

SOURCE: 2005 Dodge caravan is overheating, but there is no

Overheating can be caused through a lot of things But 1st on the heater pipe going into the cab ,through the firewall there is 2 heater pipes 1of them has a air valve on it so when you turn to hot the vacuum opens the valve and lets the hot water come through.or it could be under the dash on inside of firewall by heater inlet.BUT check your radiator for dust and dirt in the outer cores/Loose fan balt/water pump falty/Head gasket leaking/ plus others will all cause
the car to overheat .
So let me know how you get on Ron

Pontiac aztek overheating

have you check to make sure the rad cooling fan is working and all the air has been purged from the cooling system, if so then the only thing left is a head gasket, cracked head, warped head. could be a block problem but this is unusual.

2002 pontiac aztect overheating has new thermostat and water pump

Try removing the thermostat and reverse flushing the motor, Actually try flushing in both directions, this will tell you if you have a circulation problem but 1 thing you should know is that the water goes in the water pump and out the thermostat, try running it without the thermostat and check your water flow

02 aztek with no heat?

Had the same problem but was overheating I changed the thermostat a $10 part. Had to take the throttle body, air cleaner off to get to thermostat. Tight spot makes a little time consuming but can be done with short 13 mm box wrench. Hope this helps!

Over heating 2002 Aztek First mechanic we took it to: replaced intake manifold and water pump, flushed system because dex-cool coolant had caused damage. Still over heated. Same mechanic said it was the...

If the water pump and thermostat have been replaced and the system has been properly refilled and bled , the only thing left is the radiator. If coolant is not flowing through it properly , vehicle will run hot. If your car has overheated to the point of boiling over , your new thermostat may now be damaged again.. As for the fans , they only come on when the coolant reaches a certain temprature. Under normal driving conditions , they would not need to come on while the vehicle is moving , as the air flow from driving down the road would be enough to cool the engine.
