Ford mustang 2001 v6 3.8L code p1285, overheating, radiator leaking?
My car has the p1285 code. Radiator pukes from the bottom.
I refill radiator and temp is stable but overheats as the water drains from radiator.
-I replaced thermostat
-belt is good, running
-no leaking from hoses
-fan works
-no leaks from anywhere else.
-AC works
What could it be? Bad sensor?
The circle is around the problem.
- Radiator ford taurus 2001? I just. Changed the. Radiator to a new one the old one. Clogged. Rust. Should I flush when new one on or Don't. Flush
- My 2000 Ford Ranger 6 Cyl 3.0 L has been overheating. Pretty sure its a radiator problem but odd symptoms? Truck exhaust will puff moderate amount of white smoke (every now n again) on cold startup but will subside after engine warming up.Truck "Was" overheating until i put more coolant in but realised cap was steaming along with coolant reservoir (reservoir was also bubbling). So i bought a new radiator cap. I got a safety cap and after installing I drove a little and engine temp goes to red really fast. What could it be? Thermostat? Water pump? Blown head gasket?
- My car is overheating not leaking and swicthing on and off again and again? Today my ford mondeo overheated and when i put water in the radiator the temprature became fine and then later on it just kept turning off and on it kept overheating. There was no leakage of oil or water no leakage at all what is the problem with it it keep overheating and turning off
- I have a 95 ford mustang that is leaking oil and coolant both appear to be separate leaks? The engine is a 3.8L v6. The car is difficult to start, usually on the 5th try it starts. After long periods of driving it stalls out and has to sit for a couple hours. It has a new TPS and a new idle air control valve and just had the oil changed
