Your car is overheating the water pump went and the thermostat colomn had a whole in it it is still really badly overheating could it be the head gaskets?
On many engines you have to bleed the air from a bleed screw or trapped air will stop coolant from circulating. Thermostat installed backwards? Radiator plugged up? Hopefully it's not head gaskets. If it's blowing white smoke and the exhaust smells sweet, then it is head gasket.
What else can I help you with?
How do you install a thermostat on a 1997 Jeep Cherokee?
I have a 93 Jeep Cherokee and what we've found is that we can never find the right part, even from the dealer. Chrysler seems to have a really bad part inventory on this model. What we've done is to call Chrysler directly and ask customer service for the part number and then look for the part that way. I don't know how to change it, but we found a very good mechanic in Los Angeles, CA.

Will removing the thermostat in your 83 Pontiac sunbird help with it overheating?
It MAY help with the overheating problem....but you really need to find out why it's overheating. Blown head gasket, stuck thermostat, bad water pump, fan not coming on, etc.
What would cause the Temp light to come on in a 91 Chevy Lumina?
could be several things. 1st is the car actually overheating. If so then it could be a stuck thermostat or a bad water pump. If it is not really overheating my bet would be a falty temp sensor. The temp sensor is what actually tells the light to turn on.
What problems will a failed thermostat cause?
overheating , or blow a radiador hose if stuck closed. if stuck open wont really do nothin but eat antifreeze muhhahahahaha it just opens to save your engine from gettin too hot
What else can you do to your 1991 Honda if it is still overheating by the time you go a mile if you have changed the radatior and the thermostat?
1) ONE THING YOU COULD TRY IS CHANGING THE RADIATOR CAP...IF IT'S BAD THE CAR WILL BOIL OVER AND APPEAR TO BE ALWAYS OVERHEATED WHEN ALL THAT'S REALLY WRONG IS THE LACK OF PROPER BACK PRESSURE DUE TO AN OLD/DEFECTIVE RADIATOR CAP. 2) IF THAT DOESN'T WORK YOU COULD TAKE THE THERMOSTAT OUT AND TRY DRIVING THE CAR WITHOUT IT IN AND SEE IF THE CAR RUNS LONGER BEFORE OVERHEATING...IF IT DOES THEN THE THERMOSTAT IS STICKING. THE THERMOSTAT COULD ALSO BE UPSIDE DOWN...IF IT IS IT WON'T WORK RIGHT. patricklaw1957@yahoo.com You might also check the timing.If it is retarded due to a bad timing chain or needing a tune up this will cause overheating.

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 would cause an overheat warning in a 97 Neon if it's not really overheating?
If it's not really overheating but you're getting warnings, it's probably a faulty sensor.
Can you prevent your head gasket from blowing?
There is really no good way to prevent this from happening other than making sure you have a proper supply of coolant/antifreeze in your system and a properly working thermostat. Overheating is a great way to warp the head and then blowing the gasket.
How do you change the thermostat on a 2004 avalanche?
Find and disconnect the upper radiator hose. This will be a hose going from the top of the radiator to the top of the engine block somewhere. The upper radiator hose attaches to the thermostat housing, which is usually secured by 2 or 4 bolts. The thermostat is inside and you will probably need a pick to get it out. Having said that, your thermostat probably isn't the problem if you are overheating. GM motors have really bad intake gasket design, which can cause your car to leak coolant, which will in turn cause it to overheat.
Why is your 2002 Chrysler sebring lxi 2.7 is overheating?
I had a similar issue one day, my friend mechanic advised that the thermostat had siezed, he removed the thermostat, cut the spring and re installed it, I have used it now for 4 months with no issues to date. Please check with a technician, as I reside on an Island that is constant 84 degrees and the engine does not really need a thermostat. As to update this, I have now used this car without the spring in the thermostat for nearly 2 years and without any issues, temp remains well below half way mark
Does thermostat gasket go under or on top of thermostat?
The answer is...it depends. A majority of cars have the gasket going on top of the thermostat. You will have to look for things like a cutout for the thermostat to fit in and such to really know or you might even have to pull out the repair manual.
What would make a hot water heater all the sudden get really hot?
Someone turned up the thermostat, or the thermostat has failed. The thermostat tells the heater what temp to keep the water at.
