The motor on car is overheating and the radiator cold with plenty of steem from the bleeder and blowing a little from exzaustwhats wrong?
I hate to say it, but if you have steam coming from the exaust, it's probably indicative of engine damage, possibly a blown head gasket. Generally if the radiator is cold, and the car is overheating, the possibilities include, a stuck closed thermostat, a stopped up radiator, a non-fuctioning water pump, or possibly a severly low level of coolant in the system, i.e., not enough coolant in the engine to circulate any through the radiator. Whatever you do, do not attempt to open the radiator cap while the engine is hot. You will severly burn yourself. Wait until the car is cold, open the radiator cap, and check the coolant level. My suspicion is that you will not see any coolant, because it has all either leaked out, or been boiled out. If you find this, I reccommend you get some help properly filling the radiator. It OS not as easy as just putting water in, because the system, has to be "burped" that is, the air pockets must be purged with a process that involves constantly carefully removing the cap while the engine is running, and adding more coolant several times. This can be dangerous if you don't know exactlt what you are doing because you can severly burn yourself strongly suggest you get some help. After all this, you I suspect you will find that the engine is damaged, and needs fairly expensive repair.
What else can I help you with?
What is the purpose of a radiator fan?
A radiator fan is used to help cool the engine by blowing air across the radiator, which dissipates the heat generated by the engine. This prevents the engine from overheating during operation.
Toyota Celica vvti no hot air engine overheating?
If the Toyota Celica VVTI is not blowing hot air through the heater, but the engine is overheating, there could be a problem with the radiator being plugged up. Sediment sometimes builds up in the radiator that can clog thermostats. Another problem might be the thermostat sticking or the water pump is leaking.
Im looking at buying a 98 jeep Cherokee sport that has overheating issues he said the radiatorwater pump and thermostat was changed but still hits 260what can be wrongis it worth buying?
Hi have you checked the radiator for blockage if it is blowing water back out the radiator this could be the problem.
Why would your 1996 Ford Winstar still be overheating with no hot air blowing when you just had thermostat replaced twice and radiator flushed?
could be the water pump That is a typical symptom of an air lock in the cooling system
Why is the radiator empty and car over heating and blowing cold air?
Over-obvious answer? Your radiator, or one of your radiator hoses, leaks - badly.
The engine is overheating and you have no heat just cold air blowing?
Probably a bad thermostat.
My 95' Tahoe is overheating and steam is blowing out of the front-end around a tube that inserts into the radiator. What should I do?
You might need to either replace your thermostat or the radiator itself. I can't tell what "tube" you're talking about, but it COULD just be the radiator cap that's bad and you're venting into the tube that goes to the coolant recovery reservoir. If that's the case, just get a new radiator cap. If the radiator hose is leaking, replace it. Unfortunately, I can't tell what's wrong from your description.
Would the head going cause a new radiator to blow or vise versa so which failed first the new radiator or the new head gasket?
A blown head gasket will pressurise the cooling system sometimes to the extent of blowing the radiator. A blocked radiator will cause a lack of coolant flow and overheating, which can cause head gasket failiure. Without inspecting the vehicle there is now way to tell which component failed first. Best wishes.
1995 camaro running hot blowing head gaskets replace gaskets but still running hot lots of pressure in radiator?
Your heads are probably warped from overheating. have them checked out by a machine shop. Sometimes they can machine them back to flat, but you might have to replace them.
Heater blowing cold but car not overheating?
faulty control valve on heater or air in the lines
Your 2009 Chevy is blowing out white smoke and overheating what does this mean?
Sounds like a bad head gasket
Your 1998 Jeep Grand Cherokee had radiator replaced and thermostat replaced and is still overheating how do you know if it is the water pump?
play in the fan shows the front pump bearing worn....bleeder hole located just behind the water pump pulley small 1/4 " drilled hole leaking anti freeze???? do you get a lot of white smoke from your tailpipes???? if so head gaskets are bad as well... water pump bad could have created that condition allowing the engine to over heat thus blowing out the gaskets!!
