It is obvious you have a leak and the engine is overheating. If you do not see coolant on the pavement or an apparent leak anywhere, that is a bad sign. Smell the exhaust and if it smells sweet or you see white smoke at the tailpipe, you have a blown head gasket. Do not ignore this as it can cause serious engine damage. Check the oil level and if over full or milky looking, you for sure have serious problems. Another sign is bubbles coming from the radiator with the cap off cold engine just after startup and running. Have this looked into ASAP before you ruin this engine.

Why would the heater on your 1988 mercury topaz not give you warm air unless it has been running for 30 minutes?
First and foremost, check your coolant levels. If you have insufficient coolant, you'll get heat but only after a long time. It could be a heater core problem, or a plugged line but low coolant is a common cause. First and foremost, check your coolant levels. If you have insufficient coolant, you may still get heat but only after a long time. It could be a heater core problem, or a plugged line but low coolant is a common cause.

What should you do if a 1995 Chevy Lumina is overheating?
First, stop driving it. Next determine why it is overheating. Check the radiator cap, and replace if necessary. Check the cooling fan and water pump for proper operation. If they are both good, then do a complete cooling system service. Drain the coolant, and flush the system with the heater control on hot. Replace the thermostat and install a 60/40 mix of the proper coolant and distilled water. This will allow for the water left in the system and give you a 50/50 mix. Bleed all air out of the system, and clean the exterior of the radiator fins.

check all A/C electrical connections, like the connector at the compressor.. make sure the compressor is trying to engage, should be an audible click when switched on, check fuses, also check pressure switch on coolant line.. it has a electrical connector on it also, and if coolant is low it will not let the compressor engage.

What do you do if your Frontera Engine overheats when in traffic and coolant runs out?
You should look under your vehicle while its running. If you haven't noticed a puddle of coolant on the drive way, you may have a bad head/gasket. Does the car smoke? If it does, your head gasket is gone. Check your engine oil. If it looks like muddy water on the dipstick, you've got coolant mixed with the engine oil. If you see coolant on the ground, you may have a bad water pump. First, check your radiator hoses. Remember to check the hoses going into the heater core as well.
My car temperature gage goes up to max and the reservoir coolant would be boiling and all the coolant would fall to the groundcan you please tell me what is going on with my car thank you?
first thing to check would be the thermostat in the engine. next check the radiator cap. also check that radiator hoses are good, and not soft.if they are soft they can colapse when hot, stopping the coolant from circulating check to see if there is coolant in the oil that would indicate a blown head gasket.
Where would you put the coolant in a 1995 Chevy blazer?
If your radiator is completely full of coolant (check first), then on the passenger side there is a white box with a black cap that sits right behind the battery. That is your coolant reservoir. Any additional coolant would be filled into that reservoir. Also you should know what coolant your vehicle has running in it. GM uses their own special coolant known as DEXCOOL which is a long life coolant. Mixing DEXCOOL with any other coolant reduces it's life and cooling effeciency. So be sure to match what coolant you already have and you'll be alright.
