No water in your radiator
Have you checked the coolant level? Coolant pump, thermostat, expansion bottle.
When did you last change the coolant and flush the block?
Check the water/anti-freeze in radiator.
or
replace thermostat
It is probably the thermostat
No antifreeze in the system, bad water pump, or belt broke.
Thermostat or a blockage in your water system? Did the heater work before it started overheating?
Immediate thoughts would be lack of coolant? This would result is such a result. An air pocket ( steam ) or blockage in coolant circuit could give such effects. Real issue will be if cylinder heads get distorted or gaskets fail and if excessive we will get metal pickup on cyl bores/pistons with potential engine seizure.
we ought to check out whole system starting with coolant level.( leaks can be a prime coolant loss so check for these e.g. Water pump.pipes etc) don't drive car until sorted as very high risk of losing engine. Have we looked at coolant level with cold engine and rad cap off? Rev engine. Do we see any coolant flow? If we're not mechanically minded or familiar with engines it will be best to have a garage sort it.
OUT OF COOLANT
- What could be the problem if the coolant drains fast and once it drains out the heater doesn't get hot? There's also a smell to it, and the coolant only last for about 2 days… What culd the problem be for a 2010 ford mustang
- 1997 Ford F-150 A/C and heater won work So I'm in AZ and at this time the mornings are cold but the afternoons are hot. So when I drive to work I tend to turn on the heater and on my way home I turn on the AC. Well about a week ago my heater was blowing cold air and that same day the AC was blowing hot. It seems like they're blowing the same temp as it is outside. Can someone diagnose this for me?
