Running Hot

[TWITCH]

I replaced my thermostat and flushed my radiator, put all new coolant in it, and my car still runs hot every now and then, does anybody know what else could be the reason its heating up? it only does it when im sitting still.

bad radiator maybe. have radiator shop test it.

the uh, whats it called... coolant temp sensor? i think

[TecHMec]

yeah check that too^^^^^

does it run all the way to HOT. Pull over and then turn the car off, check if you see the coolant running under the car.

like ill be driving and itll be fine but if im going slow or im sitting still it slowly starts to climb up to hot...but once im driving again it will drop back down to normal temp. Ive looked under the car, and no coolant or anything.

Sounds like your cooling fan(s) isn't running.

i agree. replace the thermo switch and if you still got a overheating issue, then it may be your head gasket or a warped head. whatever it is, good luck.

If you bled the system properly then it's probably the switch as stated before. Check to see if your fans work by turning on your AC, the fans should go on if not then they're not operating properly. Also, check the radiator fan fuse under the hood. The relay may also be bad but I'd check the rest before replacing it.

i got the same problem. but one of my fams arent working so that may be the problem. but then again i smell coolant after i have the heater on for like 30min or so.

i have to put coolant in it every couple of weeks. i looked in the haynes manual and it said it might be boiling away b/c of over heating. i hope thats it.

check the fan switch sensor on the head....I had the exact same issue and it turned out to be that.

You might have coolant system leak.
