Have a 2000 Malibu that had blown head gasket. Have replaced the head gasket and intake gasket. It keeps getting hot even though I have replaced the radiator cap and thermostat. Think the water pump is good. What else can I try?
Is there any coolant inside the car. smell around the passenger side floor for coolant and see if its wet if it is the heater core is leaking, the coolant has to be going somewhere you could have a leaking coolant hose or your rad itself could be screwed. i had a car with no cooling fan for 2 years and the only time it got hot is when you werent moving so i doubt its your fan
Is the electric cooling fan operating properly.
You replaced the head gasket but did you get the head or heads checked for cracks or check the block for warpage?

Plenty of coolant. It just doesn't stay in. The radiator cap was leaking and I replaced it. Don't know where the water is going but just went through my second gallon of antifreeze. I think the engine is getting so hot that the water is evaporating. Can't find a leak, but there is very little water circulating. What do I try now?
Fans are not working.
The head was checked out - no cracks. Block is good.
is there enough coolant?
