air trapped in your coolant system. take the radiator or coolant recovery tank cap off if you don't have a radiator cap. Take it off when the engine is cold. Start and run the engine at idle with the cap off. Keep adding coolant if you see the level go down. Continue to do this until no longer see any drop in the fluid level. If your fluid does not move, then your water pump is the culprit and not moving the coolant out of the engine.

Why is a 1994 Honda Accord LS overheating and leaking antifreeze?
ah.......radiator??
How does antifreeze keep the water in your radiator from freezing and overheating?
It changes the freezing and boiling point.
Acura Legend is overheating?
The most common cause of overheating is a thermostat stuck in the closed position. However, other causes are: faulty water pump, clogged radiator, clogged hose(s), coolant leak or a broken drive belt. I had a 1987 legend with around 160K that was overheating. Antifreeze would boil out of the overflow. I changed my radiator and it fixed the problem.
What is most likely to be wrong if your 94 eldorado keeps overheating?
Start with the cheapest fix first. Replace the radiator cap. If still overheating replace thermostat. Make sure you have a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water. Lastly if all else fails, check for a plugged or faulty water pump and or radiator.
2002 Chevrolet Impala is overheating why?
things to check for is thermostat, check water circulation in radiator (possible bad water pump), radiator could be blocked, and most of all make sure all fluids are up to spec. (oil and 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.

Picture of where to find the thermostat on 2001 Chevy Malibu?

If you are replacing a water pump will this stop a car from overheating?
Replacing a bad water pump can help to stop a motor from overheating. Hopefully that was the cause of the overheating. If it does not stop the overheating, try replacing the thermostat. Make sure you have the proper mix of antifreeze and water, the radiator filled with it. Check the level of coolant FIRST. Next, the hoses, and third the thermostat. Then, disconnect a hose and see if, by starting the vehicle, if there's water pressure. If not, its water pump time!
