Overheating an engine can seriously damage the heads. Check for water in the oil. It may look milky.
The Dodge intrepid will not start after overheating because it blocks the radiator cap.
Low coolant?Cooling fan not working?Radiator air flow restricted?Radiator clogged?Water pump not working properly?Radiator cap defective?
You may have overheated the engine or seized it.
You must check the coolant level in your radiator and reservoir. Low coolant levels can lead to overheating. If it's low, you may have a coolant leak that needs to be repaired. Good luck!
If there is no temperature gauge on a motorcycle, the way to tell if the motorcycle is overheating is by smell or feel. If the bike smells like radiator hot water, it might be overheating. If the legs of the operator start to become so warm that it is uncomfortable to ride, it might be overheating.
Start with the cheapest fix first. Replace the radiator cap. If still overheating replace thermostat. Make sure you have a 50/50 mix of antifreeze and water. Lastly if all else fails, check for a plugged or faulty water pump and or radiator.
it sounds like your water pump may not be working, to find out if it is, start your car, remove the radiator cap and look into the radiator. you should be able to see the fluid moving in the radiator. it sounds like your water pump may not be working, to find out if it is, start your car, remove the radiator cap and look into the radiator. you should be able to see the fluid moving in the radiator.if it is not m0oving your pump is bad
If it's been repaired properly it should simply start.
I would start at the thermostat. Problems with the radiator and head gaskets are usually presented as visual leaks. But clogged passages in the radiator would also cause overheating issues, so have the cooling system flushed.
Overheating ? - Check radiator for water and coolant, and engine for enough oil and not old burnt oil
A radiator fan is designed to operate only when the coolant is very hot, and the motor is in danger of overheating. You do not have a problem unless the motor overheats after sitting still idling for prolonged periods of time.
Remove your thermostat housing, remove your thermostat. put your thermostat housing back on. start up and let run awhile, check gauge to see if it is still getting hot/ overheating. If not, buy a new thermostat. flush radiator, install new thremostat and add new coolant. You should be set.
