ok i just replace the thermostat and a few hoses. Now there is a nother problem i dont know what it causing it. As my car warms up the water from the radiatior is pushed back in to the overflow container until it overflows. What is wrong and how can i fix it thanks.

 

ok now im just guessing........

could you have too much water in it????

anyway you could have put the thermostat in up side down?

does the car over heat? if not i would guess to much water.

hope it helps!!

 

never had this problem before you "fixed" the car? t-stat is upside down or defective.

 

ok i looked at the t-stat and its fine i even tested it before i put it in, cleaned the radiator and im going to replace the lower hose on moday. My car is taken apart right now so i dont know if anything i did fixed it but any help would still be apreciated.

 

my mother inlaws trep was doing some thing simmilar. as the car warmed up coolant would start to come out the boil over tube on the resavior tank. came out the rad cap on it wasnt keeping enough pressure.
Maybe try that and its a cheap thing to try, under $4.00

 

ok i replaced the lower radiator hose and the cap today then tunred it on and it didnt spit the water into the overflow, but it stilled over heated so in the morning im going to take out the water pump and get a new one. If that dosnet work im pushing my car from now on!

 

Before you start replacing things, does the fan turn on?

Does it overheat at idle only, or highway speed only...or both?

Single or dual fan setup?

 

yes the fan turns, it overheats whenever its on its a single fan setup and ive replaced everthing it could be except for the radiator its self. And i tested it this morning and it still overheated.

 

man, sounds like your having a tough time.

with the radiator cap off (make sure the engine is cold) and see if the water is circulating through the radiator.

is there any water dripping from the water pump? if not it probly aint the pump.

next i would try to flush the radiator. if that doesnt work flush the engine.

also,i would try running the engine with the thermostat out.

about how long does it take to over heat after you start it?

how it helps and good luck!!
