i would def. believe this guy over some dumb *** mechanic.

 

lol...i just had a head gasket replaced bc of over heatn but that mechanic is stupid so idk

 

to rule out weather its your fan or hg.. with the fan just listen to it after you drive it or just sitting there it should come on when its hot....... if not then you gotta get a voltmeter and check ****.... .fo rthe hg do a comp test and look at your oil and coolant.. if the comp check is low you have to do a hg if its good but theres discoloration in your oil and coolant you have to do a hg. if both of these checks show their good let me know

 

it could also be your head is warped from overheating

 

it is not his fan.

 

When your temp gage gets up just above half way, the fan should come on. If it don't finda out why. if it does turn turn on look into the headgasket and such like 95_acc0rd said. Its NOT your spark plugs, wires, or anything ignition related.

 

I let my egine run and my turns on. the coolent is the same color and the oil I changed last week looked how oil is supposed to be.. Im starting to think that its my radiator fluid because b4 buying my car from my uncle I remember his machanic put a whole bunch of water in the coolent so I dont think that its 50 water and 50 coolent


think that the problem?
thanks

 

People have ran all water in their radiators and have not overheated.

You said your fan comes on so we can rule that out. How does your overflow resevoir look? Does it have a black film to it?

I can tell you this, my fan and everything was working just fine. I had no leaks, I bled/burped the system and I was still overheating. My oil didnt have any coolant in it, but my headgasket was still cracked. You cant be sure unless you run a compression test

 

well since theres no ******* web site that you can just bring the expletive up. um, if you aint to ******* stupid I sugesst you do a compression test ricky tikky

 

check your water pump check your head gasket make sure your fan works.

 

heres a question for you guys...my temp gauge isnt reading the temp..i changed the cluster and temp sensor...what can it bee???

 

Are you sure you changed the correct sensor? You can check the temp sensor resistance to see if it is working correctly. Check the wiring.

 

is it overheating while your going down the road (driving)? on my old car i had no fan at all and as long as your moving at least 10-15 mph it was good. when was the last time the water pump was replaced?

 

iono if the water pump been replaced even been replaced.. I just bought it from my uncle and his daughter drove the **** out of it so im not sure if the engine is well taken care of...

how can u tell if your water pump is broken?

for the compression test.. I still need to fine a trust worthy mechanic. its the philippines haha
