2006 ford explorer V8 overheats after replacing a waterpump? - 1
Left bubble in lines.
Squeeze upper hose a few times to burp it--maker sure thermostat not stuck, too. Then, start car, Cold, refill reservoir as it runs. Close it when coolant starts to warm.
Make also sure you didn't leave belt loose.
Why did you replace the water pump?
Hi so did you change the radiator cap as well as it has a spring in it's cap which becomes weak over time.
You may have an airlock in the system after re-filling. Or Was the water Pump the reason for the overheating in the first place?
Thermostat? Blocked Radiator? Cooling fan?
Assuming we had overheating before? Then we either still have another issue or we have failed to purge air out of system or left drive belt too slack.
one needs to check filler cap is OK. This ought to be first thing we replace as cheap and has a huge effect on temps if low spring pressure or seal failing.
is radiator clear? Have any hoses internal restrictions? Blockages etc any leaks on part of system will result in overheating. Is fan operating correctly? Have we checked thermostat is working? Is not blocked ( small vent hole in correct position and clear?)
a systematic check through the basics and eliminating suspect areas can assist. If all mentioned were OK or replaced. Odds are am air lock in system. That has effect of creating hot spots and overheating. A garage can of course check easily enough and save time but at price of course.
Thermostat?
lower hose anti-collapse coil missing?
radiator plugged?
fan thermostat malfunction?
fan malfunction?
radiator cap pressure?
Loose hose clamp, Radiator cap is bad
It's a ford.
Thorg don't caare
Maybe its your coolant temperature sensor. They don't cost much online.
- Car overheats, AC is blowing warm, and gurgling noise from head gasket? My 2000 Ford Mustang has been acting up ever since I replaced the upper radiator hose. The hose had a massive hole burned into it from God knows what. It has been overheating recently, and just now after a short drive there was a loud gurgling noise and leak from the head gasket area, right next to where the oil gets poured in. I'm not sure where to go from here, advice?
- I have a 1995 ford Thunderbird lx that has a V8 engine. The engine overheats fast and I can't drive it far. What might be the problem? I can only go up the road a couple of miles before I have to turn the car off and check antifreeze. Because, The antifreeze drains when I drive far, now I use water instead of antifreeze.
- I use the correct oil in my car, the engine overheats, can short journeys make the oil thin and overheat? Hi, I use the correct recommended oil in my car, the engine can overheat, can short journeys make the oil thin and overheat or is the a fundamental problem with the engine? I have a 2007 Ford Fiesta
- How to fix surging bogging problem 2005 ford f350 v10 after replacing tps? So I had a code come up to replace tps so I did. now truck will bog and sometimes dies when taking off and coming to a stop. have moved the sensor up and down. Some positions makes the gas pedal not work. With it in the correct spot truck idles around 500 rpms. I don't get what the problem is. Doesn't make any sense. could it be that it's not a motorcraft part? are these v10 picky with aftermarket parts? any suggestions thanks
