If a 1995 Chevy Cavalier overheated and will not start, try checking some of the sensors near the radiator. The radiator could be leaking which caused the overheating, and in turn, caused a sensor to get wet in the engine compartment.

1994 cougar V6 is overheating what could be causing it no leaks in radiator and has automatic fan?

Hopefully, it's the thermostat... but, if the engine has seriously overheated it could be a damaged head gasket caused by a warped head. Engine heads will warp slightly when the engine overheats, then there is insufficient pressure on the head gasket and the gasket will leak.

What does a blown head gasket mean?

It doesn't necessarily mean a bad engine but with this mileage, you might as well go for a rebuild since if you just do the head it porbably will start using oil.


What happens when you put a cylinder head on backwards?

If the motor was NOT started, if the head bolts WERE NOT torqued, then you would just need to make sure the head gasket was not pressed and put the head on correctly (head gaskets are cheap replace it if there is even a question). If the head bolts were torqued (tightened at all) you must replace the head gasket. If the motor was started then it depends on how hot it got. Water passages normally do not line up so the engine overheats very quickly because there is no coolant flow, oil flow is also interrupted in most cases; this leads to a myriad of problems including cracked heads, scorched bearings, etc. In this situation it is best to remove both heads, check the block deck to ensure it is not warped, and have the heads tested (re-tested) to ensure they are not warped or cracked.

Do you replace the motor or head gasket on a Chevy impala?

That depends on how extensive the problem is, if it is just leaking externally it is cheaper to replace the gasket. If it has severely overheated, the heads can POSSIBLY be warped, but even so may be able to be repaired. If the coolant got into the oil and was not noticed for a considerable amount of time, internal engine parts can be severely damaged which would warrant engine replacement.
