Actually if car is not running hot and temp gauge is staying within range then car is probably fine. I've seen a few that didn't have a lot of pressure on hoses because the flow of coolant was just that good. If you have too much pressure on a hose then you may need to worry.

What could cause your 94 3.4 5sp to heat up even after you replaced the thermostat?

clogged radiator, advanced timing, worn water pump, dragging brakes, etc. Usually, the thermostat isn't the real cause of overheating.

Why would the radiator fan continue to run after the engine stops after the thermostat was replaced on a 2002 Nissan Altima?

Ingeneral, the fan will run only if the temperature of the radiator is above the normal range. If the fan is running, then the radiator must be over temp unless the radiator fan thermostat or it's relay is defective. If the radiator truly is over temp then you have a larger over-heating problem You state the thermostat was replaced. if you replaced the fan thermostat then either the radiator really is over temp and it is doing what it should, or there is a problem with the thermostat-fan relay or switch. If you replaced the engine thermostat that controls the flow of coolent between the engine and the radiator, then that probably wasn't your problem and you should look elsewhere for an overheating cause. I would start by determining if the engine actually is overheating or not. If it is, I would look for coolent system problems like the engine thermostat (if you didn't replace it already), water pump, leaks, scale build up in the radiator, or blockages in the system. If the engine isn't overheating then I would consentrate on the fan, fan thermostat and relays.


What will cause the car temperature run hot if you have replaced the radiator and the thermostat?

the hoses leading to and from your radiator might be clogged. If you had a rusty radiator, the rust may have clogged the hoses that carry the coolant. you should check all your hoses and even flush them out.


What would cause a 95 Honda Civic to overheat?

well the Honda civic has main problems with the thermostat and radiator considering the year if it has never been replaced you should replace the thermostat then radiator cap and if this doesn't help you can do a pressure test to see if you have a leak or blown head gasket. the car could also have a bad water pump if this is the problem it will only take Min's to over heat the engine. you could havethings blocking your radiator i would have this flushed or replaced. also it could be your heater core hope this helps


What would cause a 94 Chrysler LHS to run hot it's not the thermostat?

This question is not complete. . Need to know if you've replaced radiator, thermostat, hoses etc. Are you asking this question *after* yo checked the thermostat, changed, added or drained the system?


Your Toyota Previa 2.4 still overheats thermostat changed radiator ok water pump replaced what could be wrong?

If the radiator or reservoir cap is bad it could cause overheating because the system will not build up the proper pressure. Also the fan clutch could be worn out which would keep the fan from spinning fast enough to cool the radiator.


Picture of where to find the thermostat on 2001 Chevy Malibu?

the thermostat will be under the THERMOSTAT HOUSING, which is where the TOP radiator hose fits on ie(radiator to thermostat housing) this keeps the engine at an OPTIMUM temperature BUT can be A cause of OVERHEATING IF malfunctioning


Why would steam be coming out from the radiator cap?

Radiator caps are pressure relief valves. They are rated at "pounds per square inch" and are designed to release some pressure from the radiator if it gets too high. If an engine overheats it can boil the coolant and this will cause the radiator cap to let out steam. Radiator caps DO lose their ability to regulate pressure and can release too soon. If the engine has not overheated, have the radiator cap tested and replaced as necessary.
