thermostat is stuck,or bad head gasket.check thermostat first it's cheep and easy
Hose failure, core plug failure, headgasket failure
Either the vent cap is no longer venting, or the reservoir is overserviced. Just a thought.
antifreeze is intended only for an engine, not for a transmission. there is coolant FOR a transmission, i would say that there would not be sufficient cooling for the transmission. it would probably overheat.
A Chevy Cavalier can use standard, all-purpose antifreeze, so it's unlikely that the wrong kind was put in. However, if it is not diluted properly and the antifreeze is mixed with more than 50 percent water, the engine can overheat under some circumstances.
If you are just topping up , a 50 /50 mixture of antifreeze and preferably distilled water ( Ford states to not exceed 60 % antifreeze ) can be added to the reservoir to bring the level up to the cold mark with the engine cold
There are a few reasons why a 1992 Jeep Wrangler 2.4 liter would overheat. Some of the reasons are low antifreeze levels, radiator leaks, or fan malfunction.
1996 and up Taurus cars have a problem with cracking on the bottom of the reservoir. I have replaced the tank on all three of my familys Tauruses because two had hairline cracks that would leave antifreeze on the ground near the reservoir.
The thermistat could be bad, check to make sure the fan is kicking on.
would a cracked blocked cause a car to bubble antifreeze inside the reservoir of a 97 ford taurus ?
No, if anything it would get cooler from having too much. -You have a different problem, possibly a coolant leak.
If you have tried the raiator and the reservoir and hoses, you should have you intake gasket checked.
If it is motor oil in the anti freeze, then it is either a cracked head, cracked engine block, or a head gasket blown. If it is transmission fluid in your antifreeze, then the radiator is leaking from the transmission cooler ----- although usually that would cause antifreeze to be in your transmission fluid.
