Can a stuck open thermostat cause a loss of antifreeze?
yes if your vehicle over heats
What happens to a car engine when it over heats?
crack the engine block and oil mixes with water or antifreeze.
How do you diagnose overheating problems on a eclipse?
First thing you should check is the antifreeze level. If that is fine, replace the thermostat. If it still over heats after the thermostat, then most likely you need to replace the waterpump. If your antifreeze is low, check for leaks, the radiator, hoses, heater core, and water pump. If the water pump is leaking, that is your problem, replace that and thermostat all in one.
Your 2004 H2500 Chevy smells like antifreeze but their is no leaks?
smell of antifreeze and no visable leaks usually indicates that the heater core needs replacing
Is antifreeze the same colour when it leaks out of radiator?
Same color as what?
Why is oil getting in antifreeze of your 87 b2000 causing thermostat to stickand engine overheat?
Oil/antifreeze mix is usually caused by head gasket leaks or valve cover gasket leaks.
Your 1997 Ford Escort wagon leaks antifreeze but cannot be found?
no
Antifreeze leaks out when you pour into radiator?
Find where it is running out and repair the cause.
Can not find the antifreeze leak on a vortec 350 what to do?
Need to get a pressure tester for rad. Do not pump up over 10LBS. And then look at the rear corners of the intake real close for leaks. The vortec engines are none for intakes leaking antifreeze. BE SURE TO CHECK ENGINE OIL CLOSELY FOR ANTIFREEZE
When i add antifreeze to my carr it just leaks all out by the motor the the car starts to over heat what could be the problem?
possibly the water pump or a bad hose
What causes heat and air to work fine in a 1996 Corvette that does not over heat but has a strong antifreeze smell and foggy windows but no leaks that can be found?
heater core leaking
Would lack of antifreeze cause engine shutdown?
In the event that it over-heats and seizes, then yes. If your cooling fliud is plain water, and the engine hasn't frozen, then lack of antifreeze should not affect things in the short term. It is obviously desirable to have antifreeze in cold weather so the the enginge doesn't freeze. As above, if there is no cooling fluid at all, the engine will over-heat and sieze up.
