Engine coolant may overflow due to several reasons, including a faulty radiator cap, which can cause pressure imbalances, or an overheating engine that leads to excessive pressure. Additionally, a blocked coolant hose or a malfunctioning thermostat can prevent proper circulation, resulting in overflow. It's essential to check for leaks and ensure that the cooling system is functioning correctly to prevent potential engine damage.

Why coolant leaks when engine is off but heat wont work when engine running?

The heat is not working because you are very low on coolant, probably because of the leak. Seems to me that it should leak worse when it is running, so I am going to assume you are talking about the coolant overflowing the reservoir, in which case goes back to you being low on coolant and the engine boiling the coolant.

Low coolant sensor on 1999 Mercury Cougar going off when full?

This is one small problem with this generation Cougar, is that many of the low coolant sensors give false readings, saying that the tank is low when it is in fact, at the MAX line. To correct this, you can safely add coolant about .5"-1" above the MAX line without the reservoir overflowing when the engine get's hot.


Can no coolant in reservoir cause engine not to start?

Coolant is used to keep an engine in a vehicle at a temperature safe for operation. If no coolant is in the reservoir, an engine will not start.
