THATS WHAT THE OVERFLOW/EXPANSION PACK IS FOR. WHEN ANTIFREEZE/COOLANT BEGIN TO BOIL IT EXPANDS AND IT NEEDS A PLACE TO GO. THERE FOR IT GOES IN TO THE OVERFLOW/EXPANSION PACK. THIS PREVENTS DAMAGE TO THE ENGINE/RADIATOR AND OVERHEATING. THERE IS ALSO THE POSIBILITY OF A MALFUNCTIONING SENDING UNIT/GAUGE.

If it's overheating, then it might be several things like: low coolant level, improper coolant mixture, faulty fan on the radiator, or it's relay that controls the fan. Or maybe even the water pump is on it's way out.

How do find the coolant capacity of a 1994 1.9 liter escort?

The 1994 Ford Escort with the 1.9L Escort has a coolant capacity dependent on whether it an automatic or standard transmission. Automatic equipped vehicles have a coolant capacity of 6.3-quarts, and 5.3 for the standard. The factory recommended coolant is 50/50 mixture of ethylene glycol to water. Distilled water is advisable, and modern universal coolants (such as Prestone, and G-05) are downwardly compatible to this application.


Why is a 1995 Ford Escort overheating?

Could be many answers to this problem. Starting with worse-case and going to best case scenario... Check coolant level. If you've serviced the coolant regularly and coolant is an off-color or is contaminated, then run a compression test. If the level is low, it could be an internal engine leak or external leak. (hopefully external) If coolant checks-out, then try replacing the thermostat. Sometimes the gauges will read incorrectly and so that's another possibility.
