My radiator fuild isnt flowing through the motor HELP
When i start my car and let it run, the radiator fuild isnt flowing through the motor, i know cause i squeeze the hose and it is soft and fluid less, what could it be?? Thermastat?

Go with simplicity first. Go with the theromostat. Cheap part, small amount of time easy fix if that's the problem. If that doesn't work, look at the coolant temperature sensor. However I would almost bet that it's the t-stat just because of the fact that one hose is liquidless and cool.

Re: (hybrid1990crx)
If the hose is actually "Fluidless" you need to add coolant. The entire chamber of fluid passage is constantly full. This includes hoses, channels in the block/water pump, water outlets/inlets etc. H-T could prolly be of more help accurately if you have any other symptoms. Overheating? no heat through the vents inside? Coolant loss? leaks? etc. might wanna post as much as you can find.

Re: (Rigginit)
the car isnt over heating, and yes i did fill it up with radiator fuild, i noticed that the reservor start boiling though and i dont understand why, cause the car isnt over heating. I also noticed that the car starts acting slower when it gets to a quarter of the temp. Ima get a termastat and see what happenes. what else could cause this?

Re: (EKHWhat)
I was suggesting the coolant temperature sensor because I had the problem on my car where the temp gauge would go up if I let it sit and idle for 20 minutes or so give or take whether it's a warm or cold day, or if I had to sit in traffic. But yet under normal city/highway driving I had a normal temperature running car. Case in point, come to find that one of the wires to the coolant temperature sensor had split basically and was no longer connected. Re-connected the wires and voila, no more hot running temp problems.

i took the termastat out, and the tubes still feels the same, imma put the dash back on and put a switch on to make the fan turn on and see how it runs cause the car isnt overheating. So lets see what happenes.

how did you check to see if there was no fluiding flowing?
is there plenty of heat from the vents?
does the fan turn on?
did you wait for the t-stat to open before assuming you had no flow?
when you drive, does it overheat?

Re: (sexyrex)
i squeezed the two hoses top and bottom, i pulled the dash out to re wire the cabin harness, so i gotta hook the heater core hose back, no the fan doesnt turno on, i need to hook up a switch to it, i left the car running until it reach half temp, the termastat still didnt circulate the fluid, imma drive the car tonight and see if it overheats.
