There are a few possible reasons; A bad thermostat will not allow the water into the engine. This is the most likely. The radiator could be clogged and not allow the water to circulate and cool off The engine itself could have water line clogged A bad water pump

Check engine coolant light stays on until engine heats up on 2002 Pontiac grand prix 3.8 liter engine?
Check the engine coolant... Is it full? yes coolant level is full
What should the raidiator coolant level be?
The coolant level is set by the level in the coolant reservoir. There is a line for the level if the engine is cold and a line for if the engine is up to temperature. You should fill it to the corresponding line.
Do you add coolant to the reservoir or the radiator?
If there is a cap on the radiator you can check to see if the radiator is full , and if it isn't , " top up " the engine coolant . Otherwise , you check the engine coolant level at the engine coolant reservoir when the engine is cold and maintain the level at the cold mark
What is the proper level of coolant in the radiator of a 2000 3.0L ford ranger?
The coolant level is checked at the coolant tank in the passenger front corner of the engine compartment . The coolant level should be up to the cold mark when the engine is cold . The radiator should be full so its covering the top plate .
Why would you not be getting heat in a 96 Honda accord with a vtec?
The best place to start would be to check the coolant level in the radiator. If the coolant level is low, fill to full level. If the engine is not reaching the normal operating temp, then the thermostat is bad. Just replace the thermostat with a new one.
Why would a Mazda 626 blow cold air through the heater even after the engine is heated up?
Possibly low coolant level or blown heater core.....also check thermostat CHECK COOLANT LEVEL FIRST. IF FULL THEN MOST LIKLY YOU NEED A THERMOSTAT.
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.
How do you filling coolant?
Add coolant to the full cold line on the coolant reservoir when engine is cold.
Why does Engine heat up but no heat in vehicle 1998 jimmy?
low engine coolant level, your heater core is at the very top, so if its not full to the very top it wont work. add coolant and bleed system.
How do you put in antifreeze in a 1992 Toyota Previa after flushing out the system?
Open the hood and the Coolant reservoir on the '92 Previa is next to oil reservoir on the left side. Unscrew radiator cap from the coolant reservoir, add the 50/50 mix of coolant fluid into the reservoir. (Recommend use Prestone extended life coolant) Fill the coolant into the reservoir, it take about 3 gallon, and be sure that the coolant is pass the full mark of the reservoir. Now, turn on the car, during the engine running (about 10 minutes) kept check the level of coolant be sure it still maintains pass the full mark level. Screw back the radiator cap to coolant reservoir. Run engine for another 30 minute. This will ensure that thermostat is open and and ensure the fluid is circular all around of the radiator and hoses. Waite engine cool down, then open the radiator cap and check the coolant fluid level. If the level is low then add more coolant. Do not fill the coolant pass the full Mark's point. If the coolant fluid is still the same as in full mark then it is good. Continue to check the coolant fluid for next couple day. Besure that it is at the full level mark.
How do you check the coolant in a 1998 Oldsmobile Intrigue?
Check the coolant level in the overflow bottle. It is a clear(ish) plastic bottle with a flat, black cap on it. There should be a hose going into it that starts at just below the radiator cap. There should be two lines on the bottle, one marking the full level when the coolant is hot, and a lower one that marks the full level when the coolant is cold.Check the level with the engine off.If you need to add coolant, pour fresh coolant into the overflow bottle, NOT the radiator itself. You should use a 50/50 mix of Dex-Cool extended life coolant and clean water. Using the green, ethylene glycol coolant can cause damage to your cooling system.After you add, drive around for awhile until the engine has reached operating temperature, then shut the engine off and check the level again. Top off if needed.
