Engine Overheats

[ricebike]

sal,

u shoulda made a separate thread, but since this is kinda relavent...

did you confirm that your fans work? you can bypass the relays & jump the terminals to the battery to see if they work... or you turn on your air conditioner or defrost-windshield mode to see if the fans turn on...

if they go on, then it may have to do w/ the coolant temp sensors... you can goto autozone for a free OBD II scan as well to see if any trouble codes were stored.

or you can try to find the ECT sensor & see if the plug-wire connection is corroded...just clean it off w/ a wire brush & some brakecleaner

vovw, how u found an anciend thread...

If needle doesnt rise, that is a problem itself.

What happens if/when your engine overheats?

Check/tighten belts first. Then fill up & bleed air bubbles out as FSM suggests.

Most common overheating causes in this order:
- loose belt,
- by low liquid level (system leaking),
- airbubbles (unproper fillup),
- thermostat (sticking),
- pump blade corrosion,
- and/or blocked radiator/system.

For thermostat check this page, your engine block system is very similar. Seek via 'Favorite Links' more infor for VQ http://www.cardomain.com/ride/748507/8
