What can cause a 1998 cavalier run hot?
Low coolant? Thermostat not opening? System airbound? Radiator plugged or flow restricted? Defective radiator cap? Water pump not operating? Clutch or cooling fan not working?
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.
How does the water flow in an old cast iron radiator?
The boiler has a circulation pump that circulate the water
What could cause a 1995 dodge ram 1500 pickup to overheat?
Low coolant? Thermostat not opening? Radiator plugged? Radiator air flow restricted? Hoses collapsing? System airbound? Water pump not working (defective impellor)? Bad radiator cap?
Why is there no water flow in a radiator when cap is off?
The water does not flow through the radiator until the engine is at operating temperature. At that time the thermostat will open and allow it to flow.Sometimes you are unable to see it, depending on the direction of flow. Increase the engine rpm and you should notice a change.
What will cause your radiator over flow to bubble and the car not running hot?
possible hole in hose
What direction does water flow through a 1966 mustang radiator?
Once the thermostat has opened, the hot coolant flows from the thermostat housing on the engine into the top of radiator and out the bottom of the radiator back into the water pump.
Does water flow through the fins in a car radiator?
No, water does not flow through the fins in a car radiator. The fins are there to dissipate heat from the coolant circulating through the radiator tubes. Air passing over the fins helps cool down the hot coolant flowing through the tubes.
Does the radiator on a 1999 mercury mountaineer come out from the top or bottom?
When the thermostat is open the coolant will flow through the top radiator hose in to the radiator and out to the water pump through the bottom radiator hose
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.
