make sure antifreeze is 50/50 mix. The thermostat has failed in the open position allowing coolant to flow constantly through the radiator and take longer to reach operating temp.

Why does your cooling fan come on when car is just sitting?
While your car is running the engine is heating up. While your driving you have air being forced over the radiator cooling it off. When you are sitting still you don't have that air so your engine is heating up even more so the cooling fan comes on to help cool you engine off. Via cooling the radiator.
Does the heating element on a rear car defroster heat up enough to clear morning dew?
It should if the system is in good working order.
What if your golf engine is overheating but goes down when you turn heating up in car?
Check coolant level Check the operation of the cooling fan
Can you still drive a car w leaking radiator?
A car with a leaking radiator can be driven, but when the coolant leaks out, the engine will overheat and when the engine gets hot enough, it will seize-up, the car will stop, and the engine will have suffered severe damage.
Is it damaged the car if you park the car and heating up?
yeah. It happens
What are signs your car needs a tune up?
signs a car needs a tune up can be all or any of the following poor performance excessive fuel consumption.unusal noise in engine hard to start backfiring in engine not starting at all over heating more exhaust smoke than usual
Why isn't engine heating up?
The thermostat is stuck open or missing.
Why do lights in car come on when ignition is turned on but car doesn't turn over Any ideas?
There is just enough voltage in the battery to light up the dash but not enough to turn the engine over. The little lamps consume way less energy as opposed to cranking the engine.
Can a faulty thermostat on a 97 eclipse cause the car to run poorly after heating up spit and sputter?
IF YOUR CAR IS HEATING UP(OVERHEATING) AND YOU STILL DRIVING IT, A FAULTY THERMOSTAT IS THE LEAST OF YOUR PROBLEM.
Why does a car take so long to warm up?
Car heating systems usually rely on the excess heat generated by the engine to heat the passenger compartment. There's a thing that looks just like a small radiator that sits in a fan shroud underneath the dash. When the engine has gotten warm, the coolant liquid that circulates through the engine and this little radiator also gets warm. And by having a fan blow air through the radiator, you get warm air that can be directed out through the vents in the dash into the passenger compartment of the car. There's a lot of metal in the engine that needs to heat up before the coolant is warm enough to heat the radiator enough for it to heat the air that you can send out into the cab.
How does the car move?
the car moves when you put fuel in it. Than when you turn the engine on its like pulling a motor from the lawn mower than the engine would start up but wouldn't move the car that is why you need fuel to start. than the fuel will go in to the engine causing it to burn the fuel and strong enough for it to move the car
What is after cooling?
R u talking about engine coolant... The water in a IC engine circulates thru the engine where it picks up heat and disipates it thru the cooler (usually in front of the car), then it starts all over again. So the simple answer to the question is HEATING
