Sorry guys i tried to search but nothing came up!!
ANYWAYS, so my car is infact over heating. First week i noticed this- K!!! so about a week ago my temp gauge started acting up....it would rise..then when i turn my heater on it would drop. Couple days later my heater would no longer work, so i checked my coolant and barley had anything left so i topped it up. Everything seemed fine for a bit, then a day or two after my temp gauge reach above 'H' and i pulled over and it sounded like my head was boiling a nice pot of soup. I waited a bit and quickly released the rad cap. It steemed for a bit (obviously) and i toped it off with coolant and it ran fine for a day or two. So today on my way to work i ended on heading back home on a flat bed. My temp gauge stayed at above 'H', no warm air....i topped it of with coolant, and i donno where it goes :| its hard for me to tell if theres a leak...and i hope its not my head gasket? |

I am going to try and add my input a little bit from what I been reading you said you raditor fan is not coming on did you check the fan relay to see if it working right?
I only read this first page but I would check your temp sensor and see if working right if coolant is leave the raditor it going somewhere bad. here idea check the coolant in the raditor and while the car running squezze the hoses not hard but easy and see what happens. I think you said you replace you theromstat right? I also read there are no leaks anywhere. Have you check you water pump? to see if it's leaking out of the spit hole I call it? if so you would need to replace that. Also have you replace the rad cap? my I ask what kind of coolant are you useing. I work on toyota for 10 years so I think I everyone has given you all the information. If you want to send me a pm of what you done so far and it seem like you been throw parts at it left and right. Give me a pm if you want and I will try and help you out with your problem. |
