Why does my 2002 Mercury villager overheat with new thermostat from 2 weeks ago?

The most likely problem is an air pocket in the cooling system. A lot of newer cars can be difficult to bleed the air out of and Villager is one of them. I had replaced the water pump and thermostat on mine this past winter and had the same trouble. I cured it simply by running the engine at a high idle (1500 rpm) with the radiator cap off. Place a drain pan under the car to catch all the antifreeze that bubbles out as the air comes to the top. This procedure may take some time as you will be adding fluid when needed and then watching it bubble back out. Don't get discouraged, it will stabilize eventually.
Actually it's more likely that the thermostat was not the problem in the first place. Thermostats rarely cause problems. Either your coolant is low, your fan is not running, or you have internal or external clogging of the radiator or a/c condenser (which sits in front of it).

You can check the air filter every 3-4 weeks. A dirty filter can cause your furnace to overheat. Learn how to clean your furnace, dirt is the number one cause for furnace malfunctioning.

If a 1997 Caravan just had the thermostat replaced 2 weeks ago and now there is no heat and the van runs very cold compared to when we just brought it home what is wrong?
Several possibilites. I assume you mean the gauge reads normal, but temp is cold. Cooling system was not bled well when thermostat was changed. Thermostat went bad. New thermostats are not uncommon to be defective. Developed coolant leak and level is now low. heater core plugged up from lack of flushes. also, the thermostat could have been put in wrong. I have seen this happen before. all other info above is correct.

You can since it is a fish product but I would not recommend feeding it more than once a week/ every 2 weeks. Tuna can be high in mercury which is lethal in high doses.
Why does your truck seem like it is overheating after replacing the thermostat when it is not losing any coolant or boiling over?
3 weeks ago you found the upper radiator hose almost completely squeezed in on itself so you replaced the thermostat and upper hose!Also, the cooling system has been flushed and refilled and the cap has been replaced! Could be a partially plugged radiator. Flushing will not always take care of this. I would check the thermostat in a pot of water and thermometer prior to install. I have installed faulty new thermostats. Fool me once shame on you, fool me twice shame on me. thermostat in upside down ? spring should be in the block dying fuel pump
What day is Mercury most visible?
Usually you can see Mercury for several weeks at a time. The visibility periods are not the same from year to year, since Mercury's orbit around the Sun is not synchronized with that of Earth. According to data from the German publication "Kosmos Himmelsjahr 2014", as of July 2014, Mercury reaches it greatest distance from the Sun on July 12. Around those days, you might be able to see it in the morning, right before sunrise. For people who live in the northern hemisphere, "Himmelsjahr" says it will be easier to see after that date.
Why do you clean computer?
Dust inside a computer can cause it to overheat at least in mine it continued to shutdown and when I vacuumed up the fan area the computer stopped having problems. It was a Gateway LX6810 and about a year old. It has not had any problem now for 3 months,, but did shut down continually for a few weeks.
When is mercury 's evening star?
Mercury appears as an evening star in the weeks before inferior conjunction when it is about to overtake the Earth in its orbit (Mercury goes round every 88 days). This happens about three times per year. In the northern hemisphere the evening star is best seen in the spring when the ecliptic rises high in the sky behind the setting Sun. Venus can also appear as an evening star for 6-8 weeks but only once every 20 months approximately. Both planets appear as a morning star after inferior conjunction. Morning stars are best seen in the autumn in the northern hemisphere.
