How do you Flush the radiator on a 2002 pontaic Montana Where is the radiator valve?
What you'll need to perform a radiator flush:* Phillips head screwdriver or wrench (whichever your radiator drain requires) * Cloth rag * Radiator Flush solution * Coolant * Funnel * Used coolant receptacle Using your owner's manual or your eyeballs, locate your radiator's drain plug. It could be anywhere along the bottom of the radiator, and will be either a screw plug, bolt plug or a petcock (simple drain valve). Be sure you have your used coolant receptacle in place under the drain before you open it up. With your coolant catcher underneath the drain, unscrew it and let the coolant empty completely. If you have a screw or bolt type radiator drain plug, remove it completely. If your radiator has a petcock, open it all the way.Once all of the coolant has drained from the radiator, replace the drain plug and remove the radiator cap. Add the contents of the radiator flush solution to the radiator, then fill it to the top with water. Replace and tighten the radiator cap. Now start the car and let it run until it gets to its operating temperature (the place on the temp gauge that it normally stays at). Turn your heater on and move the temperature control to the hottest position. Let the car run for 10 minutes with the heater on. Turn the car off and wait for the engine to cool off. If the radiator cap or metal radiator is hot to the touch, it's still too hot to open. *IMPORTANT SAFETY REMINDER: Do not attempt to loosen or remove the radiator cap while the engine is hot. Serious injury can result! Once the engine has cooled down, open the drain and completely empty the contents of the radiator. Your radiator flush is almost finished! Depending on the size of your coolant receptacle, you might have to empty it into a separate container to make room for the second draining. No matter what, never pour coolant on the ground!Now that you have performed a radiator flush, all you need to do is refill the radiator with fresh coolant. Replace the radiator drain plug or fully close the petcock.Using a funnel to eliminate spills, fill the radiator with a 50/50 mixture of coolant and water. I'm a big fan of the premixed coolant that's become popular lately, it eliminates the measuring or guessing step. With the radiator filled, go ahead and fill the plastic coolant reservoir if your car has separate openings, again with a 50/50 mix. Tighten all of your caps well and you're like Fonzarelli -- cool!
Why does a car overheat in cold weather?
The engine produces heat no matter the weather. The cooling system must have a problem such as a bad thermostat, bad fan clutch, plugged radiator, missing radiator shroud or low on coolant because of a leak somewhere.
Where is the radiator drain plug located on a 1998 Chevy Prizm?
It's on the bottom of the radiator, and there's also a coolant drain plug somewhere on the block, but I've never flushed the coolant on mine, so I don't know exactly where. Don't forget to let the engine cool COMPLETELY before you do this. It's not just a matter of you getting burnt, you could also damage the engine if you drain the coolant or oil while its hot.

Can you put salt in your radiator?
you can but it will wreck it! salt will destroy your water pump and probably make all your freeze plugs rust out in a matter of weeks! salt is very corrosive and will cause lots of damage. If your looking at keeping water from freezing in your engine or radiator stick with coolant. You can run a stronger mixture of coolant that will stand up to the cold better but it doesnt cool as well or vice versa.
