Your thermostat is probably stuck closed you can pick one up at any parts store for about $12
No, if anything it would get cooler from having too much. -You have a different problem, possibly a coolant leak.
I'm having to guess it's the low coolant light? Possible coolant switch in the overflow bottle is dirty or defective., Is it low on coolant? Possible wiring issue to sensor.
Having a leak in a radiator hose will have no effect on the engine running or not. However, in time the hose leak will cause the level of the coolant in the radiator to drop below a critical level and the engine will overheat.
The engine will run hot. This could lead to a blown head gasket. It may even build pressure and cause damage to the radiator and or hoses.
If you replaced the coolant reservoir and are still experiencing overheating, there could be several other issues at play. Potential causes include a malfunctioning thermostat that isn't opening properly, a failing water pump that isn't circulating coolant effectively, or a blockage in the cooling system. Additionally, check for air pockets in the cooling system or possible leaks elsewhere that could be leading to insufficient coolant levels.
These cars always overheat. Have been known to have leaky head gas
You can drive it a little but make sure there is plenty of coolant. Don't let it overheat, not even a little. If it's leaking too fast, you might end up having trouble if you drive it, but you should be able to put in some coolant and drive it to a shop.
im having the same problem with my 1994 I've replaced the heater core,thermostat,radiator,i checked the coolant, and it's not over heating or nothing and still no heat lol
If the coolant light stays on in a 1998 Ford Taurus V6 despite having a full coolant reservoir, it could indicate a faulty coolant level sensor or a wiring issue. Additionally, the engine might be overheating due to a malfunctioning thermostat, water pump, or radiator. It's also possible that there is an electrical short or a blown fuse affecting the warning system. A thorough inspection of the cooling system and electrical connections is recommended to diagnose the issue.
I'm having a hard time finding the bleeder screw for my clutch on a 96 Chevy Cavalier 2.2? Can you help?
I have a '96 Cavalier and I'm having horn issues. Mine was located behind the front bumper on the passenger side. It is almost in the bumber itself.
Not the day you change over to water, in fact it should cool slightly better.BUTNot having the corrosion protection included in Antifreeze will cause the system to be damaged and overheat very soon.
