Will a bad radiator cap cause excessive pressure that will cause the coolant to boil off instead of circulating through the engine?
No. Excessive pressure will not cause the water to boil off quickley. It will cause the radiaor hose or other components to burst causing loss of coolant. A bad radiator cap can cause high or low pressure; low pressure will cause the coolant to boil at a lower temperature.
Why does the water in a car radiator sometimes boil explosevly when the radiator cap is removed?
Water under pressure has a higher boiling point, if the water is already hot enough to boil it will suddenly erupt when the cap is removed and pressure relieved.
Does the water in the radiator reach a boil?
Water in a car radiator does not normally boil. In some old cars, the cooling systems would run at about 220 degrees Fahrenheit. The pressure would be high enough so that the water would boil at 250 degrees. Today, you do not put water in radiators but coolant. It is much more efficient than water for cooling engines.
In a 1996 Plymouth Neon what causes the water to boil in the reservoir?
replace your radiator cap...
What causes coolant to boil and overflow?
Engine coolant temperature is cooled by the radiator, moved by a water pump and controlled by a thermostat. If there are troubles with any of those components the coolant will boil Also if the head gasket goes bad gasses from combustion inside the engine will get into the coolant and cause it to boil.
What cuold cause water to boil into steam?
heat
What causes water to boil in the radiator reservoir?
Can be the thermostat which is cheap to replace, or it might be the head gasket which is expensive.
What would cause your 2002 Saturn sl1 to overheat while idling and water to boil out of cap on overflow tank even after radiator water pump and thermostat were replaced?
If the electric cooling fan(s) are not coming on that may be the problem.
What would cause the water in the reservoir tank of a 1997 Pontiac Grand AM SE 4-cylinder to instantly rumble and boil after starting?
Excess pressure is building up in the radiator probably from a blown head gasket and is exiting through the radiator cap and into the overflow bottle.
What type of energy has to be applied to cause water to boil?
to get hot
What will cause a 1988 Toyota truck with 22re engine to boil back throught the radiator?
a stuck closed thermostat,a blown head gasket,a cracked head,a faulty water pump,low on coolant,
Why does water boil out of radiator and built a pressure?
It's a pressurized system. When it exceeds cap release pressure, it comes out.
