Why would the low coolant light come on and off from time to time after filling the system and engine not running hot or the cooling fans not coming on?

Check your coolant level again to see if the level has gone down. If it has check your engine oil level to see if it is above the normal full line. If it is this might mean you have a bad head gasket. I had a 92 grand prix that was not over heating but i was losing coolant, bad head gasket.

Why would a 1993 cadillac eldarado run hot at idle except when the heater is on?
The cooling fan at the radiator is not coming on. Running the heater take heat out of the coolant as it goes through the heater.
What do you check if your cooling fans are not coming on?
is the coolant temperature sensor giving a correct reading to the computer? Is the fan getting power?
Can't find the engine coolant temperature sensor on your 96 grand am 3.1 cooling fan not coming on only when air's on or defrost?
There is a sensor located at the bottom of the coolant reservoir.
Why do you have water running out of your reservoir but your gauge is not on hot?
Your temp gage may be malfunctioning or you may have a head gasket leak that is making excess pressure build up in the cooling system. Have the coolant temp sensor tested for accuracy. This would also prevent the cooling fan from coming on and cause the overheating condition.
Why is the coolant is coming out your car?
Because it's leaking somewhere. Other than lines in the cooling system, head and intake manifold gaskets are a possibility.
Why is my 92 berrett running hot?
Thermostat is stuck.. Is the cooling fans coming on at 232 degrees? Is the radiator sludged up?
Why is coolant temp going to 219 on a 2006 Chevy Cobalt?
That is the temperature at which the cooling fans are coming on, this is common for newer cars. It is not a problem, and should not cause you concern.
When you put water in the radiator and you leave the cap off while the car is running and the water comes back out while the car is running why does that happen?
Simply stated: The coolant system of your car is a pressurized system. When your engine is running it is generating heat causing the coolant to expand. Your radiator cap helps maintain the pressure in your coolant system, without it there the water as it heats will push it's way back out of the system. Even when you have the cap on the pressure will push coolant into the reservoir that is attached to the tube you can find coming out past the cap. When your engine cools the extra coolant is pulled back out of the reservoir into the cooling system. NOTE: You should always use the recommended coolant specified by your car manufacturer, using only water can possibly damage your engine.
How do you bleed the air out of a cooling system on a 1995 Chevrolet beretta with a 3.1L engine?
The 3100 V6 has no radiator cap. It is a sealed system with a pressure cap on the reservoir. Be sure you have enough coolant in the system by filling the coolant reservoir to the max line. Close the cap tightly. Start the engine and turn the heater on. Allow it to reach operating temperature. Looking at the engine from the front of the vehicle, you should see a solid metal coolant line running across the front valve cover. There is a vertical stem attached, with a bleeder screw. Open the bleeder until no air bubbles come out and only coolant comes up. Close the bleeder. Wait a couple minutes. Repeat. Do this as many times as you need to until you are confident that all air is expelled from the cooling system. If you consistently see air coming out of the bleeder, you may have a bad seal on the coolant reservoir cap. It should be replaced ASAP, because it could cause poor engine cooling or coolant back-up/overflow out from under the cap. New caps are available at most auto parts stores or your GM dealer.
When your 1997 skylark is running there is a steady stream of coolant coming out the bottom but when its off its just a drip any suggestions?
