ok guys im back again. its been like 3 weeks since i fixed my car and now it is starting to overheat again. last night i was driving around doin the usual. and i started to notice the needle was on the overheating side. so i stopped and took a look. the cool can was full and it was bubbling out of the tube. so i just replaced the head gasket, water pump, and the radiator. so idk wut it is i hope it aint a head gasket again. wut does it sound like to u guys? thanks.

could be wrong but i had a friend and his car kept over heating problem was him thermostat went and he needed another one. Maybe it could be that?

 

how old is that car, or the motor at least, if its an older car/motor then you might need to clean out the cooling ducts in the engine, mine when i swapped it in was a mess man, although it does sound like the thermostat has ****d so that would have been the first thing I would have done

 

ok so i pulled the plastic covers off cuz it started to drip. the water pump was leaking. last time that happened the head gasket was blown cuz it wud still over heat.so cud a blown head gasket have caused this problem? or could it have been the water pump was defective?

 

Did you blow your headgasket before? It might be a warped head.

 

are you eating coolant?

 

just wondering, was your head resurfaced?

 

check for coolant leak?

 

well your water pump leaking is a good bet on why your overheating man, you prolly dont have any coolant in the system, or not enough coolant in thesystem so thats the first thing i'd look at fixing

 

ya this is the second water pump i have replaced. it did have a blown head gasket before. i checked the head the best i could and it looked fine. so i just put it back together with a new head gasket and it ran awesome. but resurfacing the head sounds like a good idea. and if the water pump doesnt fix the overheating then im gonna pull the head off and have it resurfaced. and put it back together. so in a couple of hours i will find out if the water pump fixes it or if i need to pull the head off. ill update u guys tonight.

 

is your fan working properly?

i just put a new radiator fan in my car, but it won't cut on...so yeah i gotta fix that now.
