Many things could be wrong, 1. Bad thermostat ( 1 fix ) 2. Radiator fan not coming on (Bad fan, bad relay, bad sensor, or no power) 3. Water pump bad ( 1 fix ) 4. Bad head gasket ( expensive fix ) 5. Cracked head ( OH NO REAL expensive ) 6. Cracked block ( need a ride to go car huntin? )

Is thermostat important in a car?
Yes, it controls the coolant flow around the engine block, without coolant the engine would overheat.
Why does car overheat?
There could be many reasons. Not enough coolant or bad flow, faulty thermostat, low oil. If the coolant freezes then it will overheat. If your car continues to overheat then you should have the coolant flushed and thermostat replaced.
What can a air lock in your cooling system do?
It can prevent coolant flow, which can cause a catastrophic overheat.
What would cause a 2000 Malibu 3100 V6 to overheat and expell coolant out over flow?
Check the lower intake gasket, or the thermostat...
Where do you put antifreeze in a 99 ford contour?
You put it directly into the coolant over flow chamber.
What would cause a 1998 Crown Victoria to overheat when you turn on the air conditioning?
Air flow. Check the electric fan, check the coolant, and might be time to replace the rad. Does it overheat at idle, and/or on the hi-way?
Will increasing the flow rate of coolant cool the engine faster?
No, if the coolant circulates too quickly it will not have time to cool down and re-cool the engine. The coolant would become extremely hot, and cause your engine to overheat and thus causing possible engine damage.
What happens to the motor when you put in a thermostat backwards?
It will probably overheat. answer= thermostat will not open and will prevent the flow of coolant . which will in turn do damage to your engine
Will a 2003 Monte Carlo ss overheat due to a faulty thermostat?
Sure will. Thermostat will stick shut not allowing coolant to flow
Why does your engine overheated alert come on but coolant is ok?
If your rasiater has allot of sediment in it, or your thermostat is stuck, or malfunctioning your emgine would overheat without affecting your coolant level. Sediment, because the coolant is moving and at level, but radiater is too comtaminated to function properly. if the Thermostat is malfunctioning, it wont open and allow coolant to flow and cool the engime
What will happen if the thermostat is installed backwards in your 99 Mercury Sable?
The thermostat will not open properly when installed backwards. The coolant will not flow and the engine could overheat.
What would make a 1990 Mazda rx7 overheat?
If you are using the OEM radiator and it has never been replaced then some of the core may have collapsed blocking flow. If there is a lot of brown in your coolant this may be a good indicator of this. I recommend flushing the coolant system before moving to more expensive alternatives.
