Next step after this would be to replace the radiator pressure cap, check ALL hoses for deterioration and leaks, check the coolant resevior bottle for leaks, and all connections to it. Check the drain plug and make sure it's snug in the bottom of radiator. Also, you may need a new water pump. Good Luck! I agree about the water pump, even if it seems as if it is working it will give poor circulation and cause overheating when pressurized until the bearings finally go out completely. but check the pressure cap first it is the most obvious and cheapest option, if it is bad when the system builds pressure and heat it will allow coolant to pass freely into the reservoir, but not draw it back in.

What else could be wrong with my 97 Seville STS It overheats and I've already replaced the thermostat with no change.?
it could be the water pump or a blown head gasket
We Have a 88 Honda accord lx that keeps overheating have changed thermostats and checked timing belt replaced radiator and checked cooling fans still overheats?
If you replaced some of theses already ignore and go down the line # Not enough coolant # Water pump drivebelt defective or out of adjustment # Radiator core blocked or grille restricted # Thermostat faulty # Electric cooling fans blades broken or cracked # Radiator cap not maintaining proper pressure # Ignition timing incorrect
Why would the radiator fan continue to run after the engine stops after the thermostat was replaced on a 2002 Nissan Altima?
Ingeneral, the fan will run only if the temperature of the radiator is above the normal range. If the fan is running, then the radiator must be over temp unless the radiator fan thermostat or it's relay is defective. If the radiator truly is over temp then you have a larger over-heating problem You state the thermostat was replaced. if you replaced the fan thermostat then either the radiator really is over temp and it is doing what it should, or there is a problem with the thermostat-fan relay or switch. If you replaced the engine thermostat that controls the flow of coolent between the engine and the radiator, then that probably wasn't your problem and you should look elsewhere for an overheating cause. I would start by determining if the engine actually is overheating or not. If it is, I would look for coolent system problems like the engine thermostat (if you didn't replace it already), water pump, leaks, scale build up in the radiator, or blockages in the system. If the engine isn't overheating then I would consentrate on the fan, fan thermostat and relays.
When it is winter time your transmission runs great in the summer time it overheats you already changed the thermostat and the relay sensor?
Maybe cooling line is plugged or crimped Maybe cooling tank in radiator is plugged Install auxilliary transmission cooler
Why is my Nissan maxima overheating already replaced thermostat?
Even though you have already replaced the thermostat, there are other issues that can cause your Nissan Maxima to overheat. Your fan may be stuck and not operating as it should.
What is a reasonable life expectancy for a water pump on a Montero Sport with 3.0 engine I see no leakage but temp gauge climbs now on a hot day with AC on. Thermostat already replaced.?
Start by replacing the radiator cap, it is more dangerous than the thermostat because it loses pressure.
What could be wrong if your car is overheating you have already checked water pump and thermostat and there are no leaks anywhere?
The radiator may be plugged. Take it to a radiator shop.
The hose on your radiator is swelling up but you already took out the thermostat?
This may mean there is a weak hose OR some sort of blockage in the radiator or cooling system.
If a 1986 300Ci straight 6 is overheating And you already changed the Radiator what is next?
water pump. thermostat.
If you already replaced the radiator fan but it is not switching on does that mean the thermostat is the next place to look?
if your thermostat was bad your engine will over heat but it has nothing to do with the fan,fans are driven by a diffrent mechanism. try checking your thermostatic switch/ heat sensitive switch or sensor, located somewhere in the cooling system(radiator,engine block or thermostat housing) which is the one that tells the fan when to come on.(only electric fans)it may be faulty wiring
Your 1993 Dodge Intrepid keeps over heating you have already changed the thermostat thermostat housing upper radiator hose radiator and pressure cap what is left to change?
You could have a bad water pump causing no coolant flow, inoperable radiator fans, a coolant leak,............
What can cause a 91 Toyota forerunner Overheating problem?
I have already replaced the radfiator,cap,thermostat and confirmed water pump works. cools fine w/o radiator cap ,pressure builds and temp. rises when cap in place.
