What else can I help you with?
Why does Cadillac Deville 1994 build pressure and remain after changing out thermostat?
There should be some pressure. Check/replace Radiator cap. The cap will tell you what the pressure of the cap is before it opens and vents to the overflow. Be sure Thermostat is not in Backwards. spring side should be towards engine. Engine will over heat if it is in backwards.
Why does your overflow pop off from the pressure build up?
Assuming you mean the cooling system overflow. If so: * A worn or damaged coolant cap can cause coolant release long before the engine heats up. * an overfilled cooling system will release coolant when the engine warms. * If an engine overheats, either from low coolant, damaged or plugged radiator or worn out or damaged water pump or thermostat, the heat from the engine will turn remaining coolant to steam, creating quite a bit of pressure. * Once an engine has overheated it is possible that the head or block have been damaged. Damage can be either a warped head or as severe as a cracked head or block. You need to determine WHICH has caused the excessive pressure.
What causes a 1998 cadillac deville to leak antifreeze through the overflow tube when parked and running only and not overheating?
A lot of heat is gonna build up when there is no air going through the radiator fins. This is one way that the cars vents some of this pressure. It is possible that it had too much coolant in it and the overflow tank filled up and pushed the rest out the overfrlow tube. It is normal for coolant to go back and forth between the overflow tank and the radiator. Just keep an eye on it and if it is not over heating then I wouldn't worry about it. Good luck.
How do you bleed the cooling system of a 1997 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2L?
Open the hood on your Sunfire. Remove the radiator cap from the radiator overflow bottle. Turn the engine on in the Sunfire, and let the engine run for no less than 15 minutes. Set the dials on the heater control panel to full fan speed, full heat, and front defrost positions. This will speed up the processes of heating the engine to full temperature. Removing the radiator cap and performing these procedures will allow the pressure in the engine to build up. As the pressure gradually increases, the weight of the coolant will force air bubbles out through the radiator overflow bottle hole. This process is called bleeding the cooling system. Turn the engine off when you notice that there are no more bubbles coming from the radiator overflow. Top off the radiator overflow bottle with fresh coolant. Use 50/50 diluted, universal coolant to fill the overflow. Replace the radiator cap when the reservoir is at the "Full" mark. http://www.ehow.com/how_7734216_bleed-system-Pontiac-sunfire-22l.HTML
What causes a Pressure build up in cooling system and then forces water out of the overflow on expansion tank and then vehicle overheats?
A cracked head or bad head gasket or both.
What is the small pipe coming out of the top of the radiator on your Ford Transit 260?
The small pipe coming out of the top of the radiator on a Ford Transit 260 is typically the radiator overflow or expansion tank hose. It allows coolant to escape into the overflow tank when the engine heats up and the coolant expands, preventing pressure build-up in the cooling system. As the engine cools, it can draw coolant back from the overflow tank to maintain the proper level in the radiator. If you notice coolant leaking from this pipe, it may indicate a problem with the cooling system that should be checked.
Why is there not any pressure in the cooling system?
== == No pressure means a leak (Internal or External) or a bad radiator cap. Try the radiator cap first as it is the easiest to replace. If pressure still fails to build, inspect your system carefully. Look for ANY evidence of moisture on engine components and try to find the leaking gasket. Also be aware that some gaskets can give way inside your engine releasing pressure/ antifreeze into your Combustion chambers and/ or oil reservoirs causing irreparable damage.
What causes pressure to cooling system to force water into overflow reservoir?
Radiator pressure is caused by coolant expanding as it heats. The radiator cap allows that pressure to build until it reaches a certain point (determined by the manufacturer which is why it's important to use a proper cap for the vehicle) then a spring compresses and coolant is allowed past the cap seal. The coolant flows through a hose to the overflow tank. Now here's the magic part. Back in the day, before reservoir tanks, that excess coolant just fell to the ground, wasted. Now, with the tank, the liquid is actually drawn back into the radiator as the engine (and coolant) cool. The result, an always full radiator Cheers
How does a radiator overflow tank work?
When the fluid in the cooling system heats up, it expands, causing the pressure to build up. The cap is the only place where this pressure can escape, so the setting of the spring on the cap determines the maximum pressure in the cooling system. When the pressure reaches 15 psi, the pressure pushes the valve open, allowing coolant to escape from the cooling system. This coolant flows through the overflow tube into the bottom of the overflow tank. This arrangement keeps air out of the system. When the radiator cools back down, a vacuum is created in the cooling system that pulls open another spring loaded valve, sucking water back in from the bottom of the overflow tank to replace the water that was expelled.
Why would your anti-freeze be coming out radiator overflow?
coolant overfilled? thermostat not opening allowing pressure to build-up? --------------- Please test the radiator cap with a pressure tester. Also, look for a cracked head or bad head gasket.
Your subaru legacy 2.5 keeps over heating you have put a new radiator in and replaced the theromostat but it still over heats what would the problem be?
Have you pressure tested to rule out a blown head gasket? Does the cooling system build up full pressure and start dribbling into the overflow long before the engine is hot? If so, it could be exhaust gas leaking into the cooling system.
A mechanism to build up pressure for injecting fuel into the engine cylinder mechanical?
Fuel injection pump
