yesturday i was driving around and i noticed that my engine is over heating so i
looked and it was a broken hose. This morning i changed the hose and put more
antifreeze, now when i was driving today it was a little past normal but wasnt
overheating, so i thought maybe resetting my ecu would help, but it didnt. Now
my engine keeps over heating can anyone help me before i blow my engine??

I had my car over 2 yrs and NEVER had a problem till now. the last thing i put on was a stock ported manifold panited high temp black paint.

 

everything re-installed correctly? seals? bolts?

Even with that mod, it shouldnt be doing that, you have me stumped?

 

everything was ok till now i had it on for 2 weeks now

 

Okay, guessing you probably have air in the coolant. So, do this :

1. If you have access to jack stands, prop the front of the car up. If not, park it on a up-hill (block the rear tires).

2. Set the heat lever half-way between 50/50 cool/warm and hot (basically 3 o'clock).

3. Remove radiator cap.

4. Start car.

5. Let it idle until the fan turns on and all air bubbles have stopped coming up (obviously, you should be looking at the radiator for the bubbles!). Might take 20-30 minutes.

6. Once no more bubbles are appearing, turn the car off.

7. Replace the radiator cap.

8. Take it for a spin.

9. When back home, top-off coolant in the overflow.

10. Enjoy!

 

^ really? you can get air bubbles in your coolant? I thought the water pump would circulate these out???

 

im goin to try it to see if it works, anyone ever had this problem before

 

my moms car had a similar prob and the problem was the thermostat. good thing the car is still under warranty.

 

is the thermostat e z to fix

 

hey i did it and i saw bubbles then i fill her up wit anitfreeze and she was happy

 

if you already got it hot...you are down 1 head gasket and it isn't going to get fixed unless you repalce it and mill the head..

 

It depends how hot it got, how quickly it got there, how quickly it cooled down and a bucn of other factors to put in the equation. Warpage won't happen every time the engine overheats, and the headgasket may still be good.
I'd replace the thermostat and yes it's an easy job.

 

So, no more overheating?

 

A quick check for a warped head or blowen head gasket is to look at your oil dip stick. If the oil is frothy, watery, and/or smells like anti-freeze it's bad. For a better diagnostic you could do a leak down test on either your radiator or your head but both require special equipment. Back on topic if bleeding the air out of the system didn't help you could also try replacing the radiator cap. If the system isn't allowed to pressurize the boiling boint of the coolent drops (not likely but it's a cheep fix).

 

RECALL?

 

What recall?
The only recall I know of that concerns the cooling systeme is the radiator cap. It fails when the engine cools down, not when the engine warms up.
