Most cars will not run hot if the radiator is a little low. It sounds like you may have a pin hole in your heater core (coil) and the stem could be coming through your vents. This should have some smell to it. Most cars will not run hot if the radiator is a little low.

It could be a stuck thermostat. If the thermostat is not opening fully it will not allow the coolant to move freely through the engine, making it run hotter than normal.

If your engine fan turns on when the engine is not running it is because the engine's coolant temperature is above the factory preset level at which the computer turns on the fan or fans to cool the engine back to normal.


What would cause a slushing sound through hoses after the car is turned off?

Sometimes you can hear the antifreeze/coolant flowing back through the hoses from the heater coil when you shut off the car. This usually lasts only a couple of seconds. My truck does it when I run the heat in the winter. When you are running the heat in the winter you are sending antifreeze/coolant through a "heater coil" that disperses the heat from the fluid through coils which a fan blows into your car. Since the system is pressurized when the engine is running, it returns to normal when you shut off the engine sending fluid back to it's normal level.


Why is a 1997 Dodge Intrepid running hot after thermostat has been replaced and radiator is not clogged and no water flows through top hose?

coolant only flows through top hose when engine is at normal operating temp.. so u have the wrong thermostat, or no coolant in the rad.... Or the water pump has failed and is not pumping the water.


What is water's function?

Water pumps are belt driven pumps used to circulate engine coolant (50/50 water and antifreeze) through the engine, around the combustion chambers. Passages direct coolant near the intake and exhaust ports & spark plugs. As the engine reaches normal operating temperature, A thermostat opens and allows coolant to flow through the radiator, cooling the coolant, and then returning back to the engine. Tom

How do you bring the engine coolant temperature level normal that is low in a 98 ford explorer?

If your engine coolant temperature gauge is indicating that it is running much cooler than normal ( it sounds like the engine cooling thermostat is sticking open / not closing completely ) which means you need to have the thermostat changed. You should consider if have good heat from your heater and if your check engine light comes on.


Where does the coolant come out of the engine?

The normal direction of circulation in the coolant system would push the coolant out the thermostat opening.


Is it normal for smoke to pour out of the overflow hose connected to the coolant reservoir?

this sounds like a bad thing to me...like the reservoir and/or the cooling system, has no antifreeze in it and heat from the engine is exiting through the cooling system. Does your temperature gauge read in the normal range? Is the car running OK? FriPilot
