How do you fix engine overheating in a 1989 Ford Probe?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

My best guess is that it is either a coolant fan relay or switch of some type. I have exactly the same problem and it left me on the freeway once or twice. The way I fixed it is i took some wire and ran it from the positive terminal into the cab of the car to a toggle switch, then two wires to the fans and then a wire to the negative terminal. When i connected the connection on one of the fans caught on fire so that didn't work for that one,but one of the fans did work and that was enough to get it the 200 miles back home and it has sat there ever since. I'm going to be working on this problem again here soon and if it is still a problem for you then E-mail me to let me know and i will E-mail you with what i find out. If you have found the solution by some other means then could you please E-mail me and let me know? Thank you.

=========================

Engine overheating may be caused by many different things. First, ensure that there are adequate levels of coolant in the system, and that the system is flushed completely every now and then. I bought a Prestone flush kit from Kragen for around $12 (i think). All that's required is to splice into one of your hoses near the firewall, where you install the fitting, and screw on a garden hose to reverse flush the system. Timing may also contribute to heating, especially if it is too far advanced. As the previous poster stated, check to make sure that your cooling fan comes on once the engine warms up. Cooling fan is the one on the drivers side of the engine, the other fan is only for the air conditioning. If your fan doesnt come on, you may have a bad coolant fan switch, located on the thermostat housing, or a bad fan relay switch, located in the relay switch box on the firewall. Also check that your fuses are all ok. Im not sure, but there may be multiple fuses, ones under the dash on the driver side, and also in the front under the hood, near the right side next to the battery. Also replace your thermostat, which is at the engine end of the coolant hose coming from the top of the radiator, as these are usually only $8-$20, and if frozen, will cause overheating. Water pump can fail as well, which requires a little more work, and should be checked. Lastly, if there is a leak in the head gasket or cylinder head, it could cause back pressure into the cooling system, preventing it from working correctly, and/or burning coolant in the cylinders (this just happened to me, and I just replaced my cylinder head and all gaskets). Check to see if there is any white colored smoke coming from the tailpipe when the car is running, if there is, your cylinder head or gasket may be bad. Take off the radiator cap with the engine running (when its cool), and add water til its full, if the water/coolant continually splashes up from the radiator filler neck, then pressure is escaping from the cylinder head and/or cylinders into your cooling system. Another sign of blown head gasket or warped or cracked cylinder head. A compression checker may help to narrow the leak to a certain cylinder.Sorry for the novel, but hope it helps someone, as overheating can be frustrating to pin down sometimes.

How do you replace the headlamps on a 2000 Isuzu Rodeo?

Asked by Wiki User

First pull the wiring connector from the back of the headlamp assembly. Then remove the gasket around the back of the headlamp out using the two pull tabs on the top and bottom. After that, you have to push down a thin metal clip to unhook the lamp. Once unhooked just replace the lamp and reassemble!

It should be located beside the distributor. When looking from the front of the engine it should be on the drivers side. About 6-8 inches to the right of the distributor.

Rear: Brake, Back-up, Tail, Turn signal (3 bulbs, all # 3157)

To access the rear bulbs, open the liftgate and remove the two Phillips head screws from the side of the housing as shown in the center photo above. Slowly and firmly rotate the assembly away from the vehicle until it disengages from the ball pin socket that secures it in back.

Each of the three light sockets, all containing the same exact bulb type, can be removed by turning them counter-clockwise 1/4 turn.

What does the GEM module control on a 1995 Ford Explorer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

== == The GEM is located behind the radio. You can take out the radio with a pair of special tools that fit into the four small holes you will find on the face of the radio unit. Or, if you take out the two screws at the bottom of the whole dash facia (the black framing around the radio, A/C controls and two top A/C vents, you can carefully remove the entire unit. Behind this facia are the connections to various electronic controls (depending on the options your Explorer has). Behind this radio and facia, look behind and to the left (driver's side) and you will see a small black box (cigarette size) with wires connecting to it. It can be removed by simply sliding the unit up and off its bracket. No screws are holding the GEM to the inside dash. Be sure you have disconnected the battery before attempting any repair or removal for your safety. ------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------ On Demand lists the location as center of the dash, against the firewall.

Where are the fuel injectors located?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

If you have a MPFI (multi port fuel injection) the injectors are either on the intake manifold or the cylinder head in either case they are usually close to where the intake manifold and cylinder head meet.There will be a fuel line feeding all injectors and a electrical plug to each one.Since I don't know what vehicle you are referring to,it is possible it has throttle body fuel injection,looks a little like a carburetor and will be on the intake manifold.

How much does an alternator cost?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Depends on the year, make, model, and engine size. They can run anywhere from $30 to several hundred.

Typical alternator with internal voltage regulator will be about 80$, But when you return old one you get $20 back. So if returned, about $60 (give-or-take $10).

This doesn't apply in all cases, obviously; the make and model of the vehicle is a factor. Those are fairly reasonable prices for the part itself assuming the vehicle isn't an antique or something where the part may have to be custom-made.

Why does a 1998 Camry 4-cylinder sometimes not start when you turn the key though it may start after 3-4 tries?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

your igniter is the least common thing to check if your car wont start. check your fuel pump first. their are three things that can cause it to do that. your fuel, ignition, or your compression. an igniter with run you over 150 dollars. start with the small inexpensive stuff first. buy or rent a fuel pressure gauge and check your pressure. if that's ok then check to see if you have spark from your spark plug wires. if you have spark and fuel then the only thing left is compression. rent a compression kit and check that.

How to adjust the Parking brake on a Trailblazer?

User Avatar

Asked by Wiki User

Underneath your vehicle, a steel threaded cable comes from the back of one hub and is joined by a short cable from the other hub--then the original cable runs to a threaded end with an adjuster nut in it--and one smaller nut on the end outside of that--(this is the equalizer bar)--you'll see it real close to your transmission.

You might have to jack-up the back of the vehicle???

Pull the parking brake lever up sharply and then release it. Pull the parking brake lever to the second click and leave it there. You're looking for a slight drag of the brake shoes when you spin the wheels. To increase the drag, get under at the equalizer bar and turn the adjusting nut to take up the slack in the cables. Get out and spin the rear wheels if you think it's to tight. I will say don't be afraid to crank on it for a while as in this case, a little adjustment really does not go a long way. When you think you have the drag right, go back in the car and pull the brake up the the fourth click. At this point the wheels should be locked and you should not be able to turn them even when trying hard. If you can, tighten them up a little more. Once you've done this, release the brake and make sure the wheels spin freely. If they are still binding due to the parking brake, back off the adjustment a little. And that's basically the whole adjustment procedure.

to find more work so they could get money and survive. The Dust Bowl occured during the same time, which affected many farmers and farm workers in the Southern Plains. California still had many crops to grow and fields to work in, so many of these farmers migrated from Kansas, Oklahoma, etc, to California to continue their jobs of farming.
