Blowing cold air when heater is on, needle is over heating, antifreeze looks to be sprayed all over engine?
1996 Ford Crown Victoria LX 4.6
Just changed the thermostat today so that wasn't the problem.
Although when changing the thermostat, there was a crap ton of antifreeze in the thermostat housing.
Both hoses going in and out of heater core were warm/hot.
Your symptoms are dead on for a defective thermostat so its odd that replacement didn't fix the issue. I would check the water pump to see if its working properly. When you start the car, the upper radiator hose should be firm.Let the vehicle warm up to operating temp then squeeze the upper hose and release, but keep your hand on the hose to feel for a pressure surge. If a pressure surge is not felt, the water pump might not be pumping sufficiently. This will cause overheating because coolant is never circulated fast enough. If the upper hose continues to be firm when the vehicle reaches operating temp, the thermostat is sticking shut or you've got it installed backwards.Spring side goes towards the intake. If the vehicle is at operating temp and the thermostat is open, you can remove the radiator cap after you release pressure, coolant should be flowing freely out of the tubes inside the radiator. If not, the radiator may be clogged or the water pump isn't working correctly. Check heater core 4 clogs
- Why is the A/C on 2002 Ford Taurus is not blowing cold air My freon is fine but when I have the A/C on max the motor engages intermittently. Should the motor run constantly while the A/C is on high? If it doesn't, any idea what could be wrong? Coincidentally, a squeal from the belt started when I started to use the A/C. It squeals when I accelerate, whether the A/C is on or not.
- Can i unplug my mass air flow sensor to get my cold air intake to work better on my 2015 ford taurus? When i put the cold air intake on my car it went really slow so if I unplug the sensor would it fix that problem
- Why is my 93 ford ranger 5 speed 3.0 heater now blowing out cold air? I have a 93 ford ranger. Last winter the heater worked descent. Blowing above warm air. Not as warm as my newer model car but it worked. The beginning of this winter it wasn't quite as warm as last year. Within 2-3 weeks its now blowing out cold air (defrost panel floor all vents). Last night at roughly 25-30 degrees I drove it approx. 10 miles occasionally turning heater/defrost on to try to defrost windshield some and upon returning home it sounded like boiling water under the hood.
- Changed ford ka heater control valve. Still blowing hot air? My car was blowing got air constantly when off or on cold dial. Iv changed the heater control valve twice and now it still blows hot but then does work at times (blows cold on cold). What now?
