The cooling system needs to be serviced.
Overheating can be caused by anything that decreases the cooling system's ability to absorb, transport, and dissipate heat, such as a low coolant level, loss of coolant (through internal or external leaks), poor heat conductivity inside the engine because of accumulated mineral deposits in the water jackets or radiator, a defective thermostat that doesn't open, poor airflow through the radiator, a slipping fan clutch, an inoperative electric cooling fan, a collapsed lower radiator hose, an eroded or loose water pump impeller or even a defective radiator cap.
The cooling system is a group of related parts that depend on proper function from each of its component parts to keep the engine cool. Service the cooling system and replace any under-performing or suspected weak parts. Any component part of the cooling system that is not fully doing its job will stress the others and your cooling system will overheat. The most important maintenance item is to flush and refill the coolant periodically. Coolant should be replaced every 36,000 miles or every three years. Anti-freeze has a number of additives that are designed to prevent corrosion in the cooling system, but they have a limited life span. The corrosion causes scale that eventually builds up and begins to clog the thin flat tubes in the radiator and heater core, causing the engine to eventually overheat.
What else can I help you with?
What causes the heater not to work and the car to over heat on a 1992 Pontiac Grand Am?
Low coolant.
What causes the car to over heat and fluids come out the overflow tank?
you have a blown head gasket
What causes heat to come from a car's tires?
FRICTION
Why is Water is coming into the car and overheating?
If you mean engine coolant is getting into the car, the heater core is leaking coolant causing the coolant level to drop and that causes the engine to over heat.
Why does your heater in your car only heat when you are driving?
The heater in your car uses waste heat from the engine to heat the car. When the engine is not running there is no heat to distribute.
What causes your car to over heat?
Either you have low coolant, defective cooling system (bad radiator) or a blown head gasket (or all of the above).
Why does your 97 Toyota Camry over heat in traffic?
Usually car that only overheat in traffic have a radiator fan that does not work. It will not over heat while driving because their is enough air flow.
Why does your heat only work when your car is moving?
The heat will also work when the car is turned on, but not moving. It uses heat from the engine.
What will happen if you drive car with a antifreeze leak?
The car will over heat.
When does a cooling fan come on in a car?
when the car starts to over heat
What causes a car to over rev?
If you don't shift it!!!
What type of energy does friction of running car tires on a road causes?
The friction of running car tires on a road primarily causes kinetic energy to be converted into heat energy. This heat energy is a result of the resistance that occurs between the tires and the road surface, ultimately leading to a loss of energy in the form of heat.
