i have a 1994 3.4L 6-cylinder camaro. I have replaced my fan motor and the waterpump and it still runs hot, does anyone have any ideal what it could be? thanks

how about your thermostat....

along with the thermostat, check the hoses. If they're old they may look ok, but they could be collapsing causing a restriction in flow...

i'm gonna replace the thermostat and the hoses on tuesday, because i just got the car and i have no ideal what could be wrong with it, the only other thing it could be is the radiator or the sensor. thanks ya'll.

does anyone know where the thermostat is located?

I'm not sure on a V6, but you can most likely trace the upper hose from the radiator to the intake. The upper hose should connect to the intake at the thermostat housing, remove the two bolts for the housing and you will find the thermostat...

Here is a pic of the cooling neck/thermostat assembly.

Just Remove the 2 screws on that housing(I know its hard to see in the pic but just look in that location on your vehicle and follow the cooling line to the neck), then lift off the housing and the thermostat is right in there. Good Luck.

be sure you get that problem fixed an overheating engine is murder on your tranny if its an automatic. i had to drive a camaro home in reverse one time because i let mine overheat without fixing it a long time.

Maybe its your radiator, though I doubt it, but im just throwing it out there as a suggestion.

thank you for your help

Get the radiator rodded out! You got a rad that's 11 years old and if it ain't been douched out before it IS clogged with corrosion! I got a 2nd gen Z-28 with brass so I assume for sure your 94 is aluminium/plastic or aluminium or whatnot. When you drop it back in after clean out be sure to use Dexcool- the red-orange coolant. It's superior in aluminium rads.

good god get that car off i feel like im gonna have a seizure

okay i just fixed the thermostat and it ain't running hot no more, but when i went to start it up something popped, then the starter started spinning and hitting the fly wheel. does anyone know what is wrong with this pos?
please help

sounds like 2 things. 1 it could have been in a bind somehow and broke a bolt and isnt making good contact with the fly wheel, or 2 it was in a bind and just broke the wheel off the starter. the only way to be sure is to get onder it and check and see what happend.
