earlier today i came back to my car and found the battery drained... so i figured i didnt close my door hard enough and the dome light drained it........... tried to pop start it but it didnt have enough juice.... so i got a jump...... on my way home as i got off the freeway i noticed my Temp gauge all the way to HOT...... coasted home and popped my hood and saw some coolant sprayed on the passanger side of the engine compartment................ hoses looked good, didnt see any dripping from the radiator............................ i was a lil low on oil

help a brother out

is you fan working

 

i forgot to add.... its a d16z6

its not a fan problem. if he ws over heating while stopped th yes check that but it was while driving.
look for your leak first

 

Is the heater blowing out Hot Air? or Cold air when the heat is on
then look towards your thermostat it could be sticking

if your are blowing out white smoke then you could have a blown headgasket

 

ok... i took the sol for a ride so it could heat up... got it to half way then let it idle in my driveway waiting for the fan to kick in... the gauge sat at half way for awhile without my fan kickin in.... too it around the block agian then the temp started to go up.... took it home, popped the hood and still no fan............ turn on the heater and it didnt blow that hot at first but then it started to get hotter and the temp went down...........

is my fan motor blown or is it a temp senso or somthing??????

 

sounds that your fan didn't turn on and maybe good chance blew a beadgasket.replace the head gasket and run the fan to your ignition (fuse box) so when you turn on the ignition your fan works all the time or fix the probem relay or switch or even the motor went bad

 

Is the waterpump alternator belt still on? This might have been why the battery was dead and its now overheating

the timing belt goes around the waterpump. if that belt wasnt there the engine wouldnt of start.

You need to chill the hell out... My car did the same thing and I ended up replacing the headgasket aswell.. I think you can warp the gasket if your car overheats... I mean its not like its hard to do anyways... thats good advice +1 for the guy that sugested it

 

i just took out the old T-Stat... looks like it was stuck closed......... what is that sensor in the houseing called??? could that be a problem also?

yeah, the same thing happened to me. It's more than possible that he may have to replace it. If his thermostat was stuck closed, it could have gotten VERY hot. There's no need to yell at him when he may be right...

 

replaced the T-Stat... new coolant and all.... burped it.... drove it around the block for a bit till it heated up.. everything seemed normal..... took it on the freeway up to 65 for about a mile and everything seemed normal... turned around and came home on the freeway...... everything normal....... as i got off the freeway i heard my fan kick on..... so everything is good so far..................... no coolant in the oil either

no i dont. it is straight up retarded to suggest someone fix the most expensive thing first when it could be something simple like thermostat WHICH IT WAS. i hate it when it could be such a little thing and someone goes "your motor is broken change it" stupid idiots
