yes mam
so today my car overheated like crazy and i checked my radiator and it was bone dry and this has happened twice about once every month
should i just add water and run my fan all the time? its hardwired to a switch so i usually never turn it on. is this the reason it overheats or is it something worse like a blown head gasket
............ma'am my a$$. I'm goin to bed. I gotta work in the a.m. :p
here wego diagnosin a car via intraweb again. lolQuote:

also need a lil more info. is the fan cutting on at all? dont rig itto run all the time- that works but its just a bandaide to whatever is really messed up
could be:
fan not working ( sensor on the thermostat housing or the fan itself)
thermostat is screwed up
bad hose, ect
if u rcar isnt smoking, its prob not thehead gasket. lol
btw- what car and what engine is it?
Rich is right, don't band-aid the issue.Quote:

3) Again, like Rich said, double and triple check your hoses.
4) Don't ghetto rig your car, that doesn't fix anything.

i bought it like that i dont know how to pin the fan to the fusebox or whatever so its just a switch in my car i usually only turn it on when i am sitting for a long time or driving for a while.
and i will check all the hoses and stuff and no it doesnt smoke
also its a sohc zc
yay, it already has a bandaide but its ok, its a cool one. lol.... that switch is not a good idea at all. who knows what its wire into.
u are goin to have more problems with it, check the slark plugs like jon said. u can even go as far as taking the VC off and looking under it. white milky stuff= headgasket. but like i said, easy stuff first. lol..
got a picture of the engine bay? wire tuck? ect...
What's a slark plug?Quote:

i guess you have to have a certain number of rep points (which i think are gauged by your activities on the site?) before you can do certain things.Quote:

goodnight all
-jonathan
man i hope its nothing bad
im just going to assume/check and say its the radiator leaking. Also the fan is hooked up like anything else ghetto just straight to the battery and to a switch i believe.
Im pretty sure its just the radiator cause it never gets close to hot and has only over heated 2 times and both were when the radiator was completely dry. Also once i let it cool down and fill up the radiator it is good again untill i guess the next time it goes empty.
Paul, take care of that. I can't believe he's talking about you and the guy with that Blue Evo X (PJ) like that!!!Quote:
