dont know what to do anymore

chief_mijo · February 21st, 2011, 07:07 PM

Last couple of day my car has started to overheat again and I can't think of anything that could be causing it. I changed thermostat,water pump,drained and flushed radiator, also changed head gaskets.

I don't know what do..

No leak ? Plenty of fluid ?
Water pump works ?
Thermo isnt sticking ?

ESG-642T · February 21st, 2011, 07:26 PM

ESG- dont think know if i have a air pocket

When you were filling the radiator with coolant, did you open the top bolt above the thermostat? That is the highest point in the system and must be open while filling to remove any air.

plugged heatercore maybe? idk

GreenMustang00 · February 21st, 2011, 09:07 PM

I second air pocket

zinc-vert02 · February 21st, 2011, 09:16 PM

yes i say air pocked or cracked head perhaps?

chief_mijo · February 22nd, 2011, 10:04 PM

yes i removed that bolt above the thermostat when i refilled the radiator

how would you know if you have a cracked head or plugged heater core?

Mr. Red Pony · February 22nd, 2011, 10:18 PM

Did you perhaps check the ECT sensor to make sure it works? How do you know it is over heating? It the gauge just saying it, or is it smoking and boiling over and shit?

chief_mijo · February 22nd, 2011, 11:35 PM

i just going by the gauge.

i never thought about that sensor.

how would you know if its bad?

Mr. Red Pony · February 22nd, 2011, 11:48 PM

Whip out the breakout box and a DMM. (Unless of coarse you have OBD II which I doubt in a 95) Sounds like the sensor is tricking you. Either the sensor is bad or the wires leading to/from the sensor and messed up. That or it is genuinely over heating.

chief_mijo · February 26th, 2011, 08:23 PM

i replaced the engine coolant temperature sensor and i seem to stumbled upon another problem my check engine light came on. i got it check out, it said open or shorted sensor. and i checked the connector and its getting 5v.

any1 know why it would be saying that even though its a new sensor?
