Best Answer

the water continues to cycle through the water pump, radiator, and heater core until the engine reaches sufficient temperature to open the thermostat. when the thermostat opens, cooler water enters the engine block and heads and warmer water is pulled out of the block, enters the radiator to be cooled, and the cycle continues

Engine cooling system and passenger compartment cooling system are two separate entities. A failure in one is unlikely to affect the other. Start with checking the thermostat, then you might want to have your radiator flushed.

How do you bleed the cooling system on a 2001 Chevy Venture?

When the engine is cold, remove the radiator cap, top off with a 50/50 mix, and start the engine. This will allow air to escape from the radiator. It may also have bleeder valves located high on the cooling system. The location will be listed in your owner's manual.


Does antifreeze make your ac blow cold air?

No. Antifreeze is added to the engine cooling system to help the engine run cooler and keep the water from freezing in the winter. A refrigerant (also called freon) is what makes the a/c blow cold air.


How is the intake air heated to such a high temperature?

It is heated to such a high temperature by going over the engine which is really hot and is part of the cooling system, the cold air goes over some part of the engine and comes out hot. It is part of the cooling system of a car, so therefor if your car has overheating problems turn the heater on.


What does theb antifreez do?

Antifreeze helps prevent a car's engine coolant from freezing in cold temperatures and also helps regulate the engine temperature in hot conditions. It prevents the cooling system from overheating or freezing, ultimately protecting the engine from damage.


How is adiabatic cooling better than liquid cooling?

Adiabatic cooling happens when air cannot expand or compress. A liquid cooling system uses a special integrated pump, reservoir and a cold plate unit. The process for liquid cooling is long and complicated to fit in a small box. Check out Asetek where you can read the entire process and see a demonstration.

Why does your heater blow warm air then cold air?

You may have air trapped in the cooling system. Remove rad cap, start engine and let it run for 30 minutes with the cap off while you add coolant as needed. That should do it unless you have a cooling system leak.


What could be wrong if temp gauge reads cold and heater blows cold air on ford windstar?

I'm not a mechanic / technician but it sounds like your engine cooling thermostat is sticking open ( assuming that the electric engine cooling fans are not running continuously )
