| RE: Car heating up during high speed run please help
I think your gonna have to run several inspections on your coolant system to find out whats causing this. It sounds like a clogged radiator, preventing that air to cool off the water at high speeds. make sure the radiator does not have any debri on the outside between the fins( bugs , dirt ect.
Make sure your your not low on coolant with the engine cold (iam sure you checked but just incase), I recently had to add coolant to my system, and I poured coolant right into the top hose, to ensure there were no air pockets. I also squeezed it with the cap off, then capped the tank and released, this helped me prime my system very well. so try to make sure there is no airpockets.
Iam not sure if a bad thermostat would give symptoms as you describe, but if you want to check, you can simply remove it ( make sure you have a spare gasket incase you tear it) and see if your problem still exists. I think if it was your water pump then you would overheat at low speeds as well, probably more low speeds then highway speeds. check your radiator for debri on the outside, make sure air can easly get thru those fins. you can also run pressurized air through( from outside in) at any shop for a few bucks. Finally I would make sure your clutch on the fan is working properly. you should be able to free spin the fan with the engine cold, but it should be locked with the engine hot. allowing no free spinning at all, so it should be basicly locked with the engine hot. ( this could be the very problem as well) I hope this helps! |
