Could the bottle for the coolant cause over heating if it has a split in it?
If the coolant reservoir can not maintain the proper level of
coolant, it is possible the engine could over heat when the level
drops.
Asked in Pontiac Montana
Why a Pontiac Montana overhaets frequentely?
The Pontiac Montana engine will overheat if the coolant gets low
and is not refilled properly. If coolant is added, an air block
WILL OCCUR preventing proper circulation unless owners manual is
followed. There are 2 blleeder valves in coolant system. They must
be opened & closed in proper sequence (see manual) or engine
will overheat. I know-been there! Woodchuck The Pontiac Montana

What is the proper level of coolant in the radiator of a 2000 3.0L ford ranger?
The coolant level is checked at the coolant tank in the
passenger front corner of the
engine compartment . The coolant level should be up to the cold
mark when the engine
is cold . The radiator should be full so its covering the top
plate .

Can you put water and coolant in the radiator?
Yes, you can. But if you leave in cold area you will have to
replace with proper coolant closer to winter. Otherwise it will
damage not only your radiator but also the engine.

Asked in Fuel and Engines
What should you do if your engine overheats?
Do not have your car on.
First step is to make sure your car has enough engine coolant,
if you are low, buy some at the store and put it in its proper
place for your car(If you do not know where that is then consult
your owner's manual for engine or engine coolant.)
If that is not the problem, then it is possible that you have a
leak somewhere from the coolant container to your engine. Either
check for any possible holes or loose connections or take it into
an auto repair shop.
Asked in Chevy Camaro, Chevy Corvette, Kawasaki Motorcycles
What is the proper engine temp for a 1989 Chevy Corvette?
You should have a thermostat that keeps the engine coolant
temperature at 180 or 195. If you are in a cool climate the 195
will work best.

If it's empty you need to add coolant ASAP.
Asked in Cars & Vehicles, Heating AC and Engine Cooling
Engine hot cooling not hot?
Engine is Hot, Coolant is not HOT
here engine is hot means above the engine operating temperature,
Coolant is not hot means coolant in the radiator is not hot and the
coolant is below or withing the operating temperature.
i think there is no water blow out from the radiator cap if you
have this problem then the following will not apply to your
case.
* water is not circulating through the radiator, either half of
the pumped water is circulating through the radiator or another
half circulates through the engine block because of thermostat. so
please check the engine thermostat for proper function.

Does running the ac in extreme hot weather cause engine to overheat?
If coolant is up to proper level and cooling fans are working -
should not overheat
Asked in Antifreeze and Engine Coolant
Why does your coolant boil when run the engine and AC together?
Check to see if the electric cooling fans are coming on, and at
the proper temperature.
The air conditioning is adding heat to the engine, and your
cooling system cannot remove the extra heat. This happens with some
cars at idle, when the heat stays around the engine and the coolant
is not circulating as quickly. Extra electric fans are installed to
deal with this, but they have to be operating properly and you have
to have the proper mix of antifreeze as well.
Asked in Cars & Vehicles
Why Ac is not working with coolant low?
When the AC is running, the engine must work significantly
harder to perform the same tasks it normally does. Extra work
translates into more energy, which in turn creates additional heat.
Without the proper level AND mixture of coolant, the car
engine will overheat.

Asked in American Cars, Thermostats, Heating Ventilating and Air Conditioning
What affect will a bad thermostat have on an automobile heating system?
A stuck open thermostat will not allow the coolant to get up to
proper temp, thus poor heat from heater.
A stuck closed thermostat will not let coolant circulate and
will cause the engine to overheat.
Asked in Antifreeze and Engine Coolant, Ford Taurus, Ford Thunderbird, Chevy Blazer
Why does 1996 Thunderbird boil coolant?
two easy answers are: 1. the coolant isn't at its' proper
mixture (ie. too much water, or not enough coolant) 2. your
radiator has gotten too plugged up to allow the coolant to pass
slowly enough through to cool the engine, the coolant is being
force through 10 ports fast instead of 50 ports slowly.
Asked in European Cars, Thermostats, VW Golf GTI, Ford Ranger XL
Replaced thermostat in your golf gti 1991 but still no heat why?
You must make sure that you have purged all air from the coolant
system. An air bubble will not allow proper flow of coolant and
could also cause the engine to overheat. Add coolant into resevior
and leave top off with engine running. Add more coolant as
required. If temp gets too high with cap off and coolant starts to
back out of resevior, then replace cap and allow to cool. Remove
cap after cool and top up coolant again and repeat procedure.

Asked in American Cars
How do you know if your car needs water?
You can check the coolant reservoir when the engine is cold, if
the coolant level is below the add line top it off with the proper
coolant, not just water. It is not a good idea to add just plain
water. You should use at least a 50/50 mix of water and
antifreeze.
Asked in Chevy Camaro
What is the proper procedure for filling the coolant system on a 1994 Chevy Camaro 3.4L?
This is difficult so pay attention- (1) Remove the radiator cap
(2) Start filling the radiator with a proper mixture of water and
coolant(Most climates us a 50/50 mixture) (3) Once the coolant
reaches the radiator neck stop filling and let the coolant go down,
you can speed this up by starting the engine and letting the
coolant start to circulate. (4) keep doing this until the coolant
level remains at or near the top of the radiator. Happy
Motoring!
