Alright, to start off, I was driving along yesterday, then, all of a sudden, the engine overheated. The day before, the car was doing just fine. at first, I thought the thermostat was stuck shut, but I replaced that and the engine still overheats. I hope to god that it's not the water pump, but if it's the problem , well I'll have a nice project to work on. So, it's not the thermostat, what could it be? Thanks.

 

Do you see any leaks anywhere?

 

no leaks, well none that I can see. Yesterday, though, when it over heated, a whole bunch of radiator fluid came out of the radiator cap.

 

i noticed when i added some engine treatment, flushed out my radiator, added some octane booster, and did all that little crap..my car stays cool since! You should go have it checked out to see if its one of you sensors, or if its something internally. Check your oil lately???? lol

 

where are the sensors? It's just that there seems to be no cooling going on what soever, and no, there isn't anything like a newspaper on the radiator or anything also, oil is fine, windshield washer fluid is fine, power steering fluid is fine.

 

radiator fluid???

 

it might be your thermoswitch or your fan components...run your car with the heater on for a few minutes to see if your fan comes on...if not check your fan...this would be a good time to run a switch to it so you have control when to turn it on or off

 

alright, I found the problem. I took out my water pump, and voila! There was no impellor So, just got done replacing it, and everything is perfect, temperature is good, and all fluids are good. Even radiator fluid. Thanks for all of the help and suggestions ^_^
