Look for leaks on the passenger side!!!! also this car has a "air pocket" you need to find the bleed off screw on the upper hose fitting on the engine and bleed it when filling up with coolant

    water out of the tail pipe???? hmmmm sounds like a head gasket water comming out the fill ???? yup head gasket also water pump sorry dude good luck leave feedback thanks

  • Anonymous Sep 18, 2008

    have it flow tested or replace it that much presure might have expanded the "tanks" on the ends. o rings cant hold up to that . sorry dude good luck and your more than welcome to ask anything else justuss

    head gaskets are bad. they dont always leak into the oil. most of the time they just get a leak into the cylinders. causing the water out of the tailpipe. the tester you used can also check for pressure build up in the cooling system. good luck jimmy

Engine temp gage spikes to 260 degree when

are you sure the cooling fans are working?
Is the coolant temp gauge telling the truth?
have you lifted the hood and heard the coolant bubbling into the overflow?
Or heard the tinging sound of a red hot engine?
If he did a liquid test with the dye,and it changed colors it should have changed very fast,
Another thing to think about if he was to take the fan belt off,and pull the thermostat housing off,and removed the thermostat,Now pour coolant into the thermostat hole to almost the top,Now start the car and see which side the bubbles come from,left or right,that will be the gasket that is leaking not both.

NEW RADIATOR,1 YEAR WATER PUMP, NEW THERMOSTAT, STILL OVERHEATS,SENSOR OK, ERRATIC READINGS ON HEAT GAUGE WHEN DRIVING A SHORT TIME GAUGE GOES UP TO HOT AND ENGINE IS HOT. PARK FOR SHORT TIME AND THEN TURN...

Check first if the fan is running, you can do this by pulling out the temp sensor at the lower radiator hose. You should see the fan go on. If the mechanics has checked out everything, I suggest to see if there are added load on the engine such as busted bearing on the pulleys for the serpentine belt. Observe the coolant if it is boiling hard when you notice the temp go up. It might be a problem withe the sensor which triggers the ECU to shut the engine.

Chevy S10 overheated, now heat doesn't work, leaking coolant

When an engine is overheating and then the temp drops on the guage, it's usually a sign that the coolant is not touching the temp sensor. There's no coolant in the engine. Putting water in the overflow tank won't solve this. Take the radiator cap off after the engine cools and put coolant in the radiator. you might have to crank the engine and do this several times, as the engine can develop air pockets that won't allow the coolant to travel inside the engine. If you don't see any leaks, and it still uses coolant, you've probably got a blown head gasket. Check for water on the plugs, check cylinder compression. If it slowly uses coolant, try putting a large box of pepper in the radiator or some of that radiator seal copper flakes.
