I have a b16a2 swap and have been having problems with overheating for about a week now.

First off I thought it was my headgasket blown because I would hear a pressure sound coming from that area. After checking more into it, I realised my Radiator fans are not working and I found a leak from a hose going to the engine. So I think the pressure was that leak shooting steam from an overheated engine.

Now what should be the first things I should do to fix this problem. Im fixing the hose leak but is my radiator gone? Will I need to replace that?

I already ordered a head gasket thinking that was the problem, what should I do?

 

Cancel the head gasket for now.

Replace the bad hose, and then fill and bleed the cooling system. If the fan still doesn't run, then jump the 2P connector for the fan switch located on the thermostat housing. In ON(II), the fan should now run continuously. If so, replace the fan switch.

Bleed the cooling system (procedure may take 20-30 minutes):

1) Park the car on an inclined driveway with the front end higher than the rear.

2) Push the dash heater lever/**** to MAX heat.

3) Follow the directions in the diagram below (your engine does not have a bleed bolt so skip that step below):

 

Then how do I go about bleeding my radiator line without the bleed bolt? Sorry im a noob when it comes to engine.

 

Read my entire post. It's all there.

 

How can I flush my radiator. Cause I have water in it and want to use coolant.

Also when you said jump the p2 connector for the fan switch how and where do you do this?

 

Hey kid go to your nearest Barns and nobles and find a manual repair for your vehicle and read the coolant section (radiator). "If you do not know anything about your engine don't work on it without reading a manual repair also do not drive your car at all you may ruin your engine" It's obvious that you're new to this but be patience.

 

Check the relay too. Last time my fan wasn't working that was the prob.
