What else can I help you with?
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
Will a bad thermostat cause fluctuations in heat?
Yes, a thermostat opens and closes in response to the temperature in the cooling system under normal conditions. If it is sticking it can cause fluctuations in the radiator coolant temperature.
All about the radiator temperature gage What cause it to run hot?
bad thermostat or water pump
Just replaced your radiator now temperature gage goes up to three quarters or higher then comes back down to mid range what could cause this?
it is possible that you have a faulty thermostat or you have air pockets in the new radiator when the new coolant was added
Would a thermostat set for a higher temperature keep the heater from blowing hot air?
No. The thermostat controls the flow of water through the radiator, not the heating core. Using a thermostat with a higher temperature rating delay the opening of the thermostat (and the flow of water to the radiator) until that higher temperature is reached. This will cause the coolant to run hotter.
Why does a ford temp overheat when you first start it?
Most of the time it is because the thermostat has gone bad and is not opening at the proper temperature. Cure: replace thermostat. If the thermostat has been replaced, flush the radiator. Buildup of residue in the bottom of the radiato0r will cause overheating, but it is maintained over heating, not temporary.
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 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.
What could cause radiator fluid not to exit the out through the thermostat hose which has a new thermostat The car does not over heat and the radiator leaks at hoses and cap Top hose gets hot.?
If the top hose gets hot that means that the thermostat HAS opened. Thermostats remain closed until the engine warms up then the thermostat only opens enough to keep the temperature at about the set-point temperature of the thermostat. Just repair the radiator and enjoy the vehicle.
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?
What could cause the cooling fan to not work after the thermostat was replaced in a 1992 Ford Escort?
There is an engine temperature sensor that operates the cooling fan.
What does it mean when you take off the radiator cap and there is no thermostat in it and it throws water out?
If there is no thermostat in the radiator, the coolant can flow too quickly through the system and fail to properly regulate the temperature. This can cause the coolant to boil over and be expelled from the radiator. Installing a thermostat can help control the flow of coolant and prevent overheating.
