Thread: over heating problems

I know you guys are going to flame me for this.

my car keeps over heating and i cant figure out the problem, i have changed water pump,thermalstat,upgraded to bigger cooling fans, brand new temp sensor and coolant temp sensor,new radiator and new radiator cap.


i have considered changing the haedgasket but the car isnt burning water and its not mixing it with the oil, this is very frustrating.

i would like to thank all for your help.

Did you bleed the coolant system? Do your fans come on?

yes i have bleed the coolant system, and yes they come on i have stood there to watch them come on and off.

What's your setup?

Did you wire your fans correctly, according to how you have them mounted?

de bottom with an vvl head and oil pump,t25 to t28 hybrid,3 in exhuast, and a big front mount inteercooler made by bmpc bar and plate design.

yes fans are wired right and i have them as pullers .

Are you using the OEM temp gauge as a source for water temp display, or do you have an aftermarket water temp gauge?

oem i dont trust those aftermarket gauges.

Funny, I'm quite the opposite. I'd rather have an actual temp reading, than just a needle.

Anyhow, I would suspect something blocking the coolant path, but I can't say for sure. I would imagine that the temp sensor and coolant temp sensor are good, if the fans come on when they're supposed to.

Just thought of something:

What radiator cap are you using?

im using currently a 13lbs cap i swithed to a 16lb one and did the same

Dude, I'm at a loss as well, then. Coolant systems usually aren't very complicated. Sounds more like a block issue, to me.
