#127493, "overheating problem"


          

i have a overheating problem and need advice. Even when i drive down the road the needle still goes up. So this is what i replaced so far.

I have a new timing belt, water pump, upper and lower radiator hoses, heater hoses, thermostat, radiator was fixed had small holes and replaced both sensors one for the guage and ect sensor.

Its not leaking water and there is no water in the oil. Any suggestions on this let me know.

oh and i replaced the motor for the radiator fan it went out to and its doing the same thing still, and no air in the system.

tons of fun

Check coolant level and make sure overflow isn't spitting all the coolant out. Maybe the gauge is bad? Hook up a mechanical gauge and see if its the true temp. Try running without thermostat. Maybe radiator is clogged?

If that's the case, perhaps the replacement thermostat was also faulty.

If it does turn out to be the thermostat, I reccomend getting what's called a "Fail Safe" thermostat. When it fails, it'll only fail in the open position not allowing the car to overheat. Seeing as how you have an aluminum head, you don't want it to get very hot...
