my car keeps over heating now and its pissin me off. what can i do to prevent it from over heating?

 

You could try fixing it.

 

I had to buy a cooling temp sensor for my car...you could try that.

 

Or if it is an electric fan you can check the cooling fan relay switch.

 

we need more information!!!!! when does the car overheat, how hot does it get, how often does it occur.. what kinda car do u have, what kinda cooling system. etc etc.. we need details..

 

its an 87 ta and its stock except for the exhaust. it happens everytime i drive the car.

 

Give us some symtoms or something to work on, With the info you gave us, I ask the following questions:

1. Check flow of your water pump, take the radiator cap off (cold of course) and check for flow when the therostat opens.
2. Does it have a thermostat? Is it blocked? Have you replaced it lately?
3. Air Dam?
4. Check operation of your electric fan(s).
5. Condition of radiator, Leaks?
6. Does it overheat to a boil over or does the guage just get high?
7. Water temperature sender/sensor.
8. Do you hear any bearing noise from your water pump?

Turn on your A/C, does your fan(s) come on?, Is there any visible leaks or do you smell anti-freeze?

Sometimes it is as easy as a non working therostat, but with cooling there are many variables.

Tell us how long from start up to overheat/boil over.

 

the thermostat works... and when i drive it within 15 min. its boiling over and then i have no antifreeze in the radiator. i checked for leaks and i didnt see any.
