How do you find the sensor that could be causing your fans not to work and your car overheat when sitting in traffic?
overheating could be caused by alot of things...OVERHEATING can damage the engine...get it checked or read up on how to... ...everyone should have a manual for their vehicle(parts store or dealer), and a local library should have professional shop manuals available in the REFERENCE section for free...make copies of the appropriate sections...read up and good luck :)
What else can I help you with?
What would cause a 1997 Saturn SC1 to overheat when sitting in traffic and not overheat if moving on open road?
Low coolant level, or the cooling fan(s) are not energizing due to a bad fan motor, sensor, or relay- maybe even a broken wire. Engine coolant temperature sensor will cause that everytime... more likely than anything else because it only does it when stuck in traffic or stop sign to stop sign and not on open road.
Will a bad thermostat temp sensor cause a 1997 Plymouth grand voyager to overheat?
A bad thermostat can cause an overheat. A bad temp sensor can show an overheat when the temperature is normal.
Why does my Instant Pot display the "burn" message?
Your Instant Pot may display the "burn" message if the food is burning or sticking to the bottom of the pot, causing it to overheat and trigger the burn sensor.
Chrysler voyager where is overheat shutdown switch relay sensor?
There is no such part.
Why does your 2000 Nissan Maxima overheat when stuck in traffic?
The most likely culpret is a faulty radiator fan relay or a blown fuse. Fans are intended to force air through the radiator when the car is sitting still and reaches about 200 degrees F. If you turn your A/C on the fans should operate all the time. If the fans operate for A/C you may have a faulty temperature sensor.
Would maf make car overheat?
Yes, a faulty Mass Air Flow (MAF) sensor can cause a car to overheat. If the MAF sensor provides incorrect readings, the engine may run too rich or too lean, leading to inefficient combustion and increased engine temperatures. Additionally, poor air-fuel mixture can strain the engine, potentially causing overheating issues. Regular maintenance and prompt diagnosis of sensor issues can help prevent such problems.
Tohatsu 50 hp it has no power in gear but in neutral it will idle up fine but as soon as I put it in gear she won't get beyond 23 or 24 hundred rpm all plugs are firing any ideas?
It sounds as if the overheat sensor, or CD unit may be faulty. If the CD unit receives a signal from the overheat, or oil pump sensor ( if equipped ), the timing, or fireing will be affected, causing the engine to run at low RPM only, in an effort to save the powerhead.

What upstream O2 sensor is the left bank sensor?
Left and right are determined from sitting in the driver seat.
What activates the alarm on a 1994 Mercury 60hp outboard?
The warning system on the 1994 model Mercury outboard can be activated by either the low oil sensor, located in the bottom of the oil reservoir, or the overheat sensor, located in the block near the spark plugs. The oil sensor will cause a series of "beeps" while the overheat will sound a continuous tone.
Will a faulty coolant sensor make your car overheat?
Yes, a faulty coolant sensor can cause your car to overheat. The sensor provides critical information about the coolant temperature to the engine control unit, which regulates the cooling system. If the sensor fails, it may not signal the need for additional cooling, leading to overheating. Additionally, it can trigger the check engine light, indicating potential issues within the cooling system.
My temp gaugebmw 318 e46 rises for no reason can anyone help already replaced the thermo sensor?
Does that mean that you replaced the thermostat AND the sensor? If not, you really need to replace the thermostat. A sticking thermostat can cause temperature swings and potentially overheat the engine. BTW, BMW engines tend to have serious problems when they overheat. Don't let it overheat or you might be buying a new engine.
