I have a '92 Camry V6 wagon. Engine overheats while driving with AC on and keeps overheating after turning AC off. Replaced thermostat, water pump is working fine, and as long as i'm traveling at least 35 mph, engine temp is normal (without AC on that is). After troubleshooting & searching around, I strongly believe the hydraulic-driven fan is not running as fast as it should when engine runs hot. So where can I find: (1) a new hydraulic cooling fan filter and (2) a new cooling fan ECU? The parts stores don't carry them.

I'd look at a leaky head gasket, which causes persistent overheating. There is a simple test for this, which any mechanic can do

SOURCE: Overheating. Water pump appears to be good to go

the cooling system deponds on a certain amount of pressure in order to function properly, Have you tested the radiator and cap for pressure, the cap should say how many #'S it is rated at.

Verify the cap is the proper application. Most systems are a closed recovery system these days, check over flow tank & all hose's and connections, for any possible pressure leaks, visualy if you are flowing through the radiator, after the stat opens the flow should somewhat resemble a strean with current. looking through the radiator cap opening. do you have a suffecient amount of coolant to water ratio? is it loosing coolant liquid or does it just smell hot at times?

Did the thermostat get installed properly? how hot @ peak temp is it reaching, normal operating temp is around 180f to 200f.

Is the belt for water pump tight enough?

If you try to answer these questions it would be very helpfull and we can continue to address each issue as it rares it's ugly face....

It most likely flows from bottom to top. we will also want to verify the gauge or light is functioning proper, and not giving a false reading, when you jumped the fan did you verify it was spinning in the proper direction.

Radiator overheating, no leaks anywhere, may be thermostat or water pump?

If your vehicle's radiator is overheating and there are no visible leaks, it is possible that the problem could be caused by a faulty thermostat or water pump. These components are responsible for regulating the flow of coolant and water through the radiator and engine, and if they are not functioning properly, it can cause the engine to overheat.
To determine if the thermostat or water pump is causing the overheating issue, you will need to perform some diagnostic tests and checks. Here are a few steps you can follow:
  1. Check the thermostat: The thermostat is located in the engine and controls the flow of coolant through the radiator. If the thermostat is stuck in the closed position, it can prevent the coolant from flowing and cause the engine to overheat. You can test the thermostat by removing it from the engine and checking it for proper operation.
  2. Check the water pump: The water pump is responsible for circulating the coolant and water through the radiator and engine. If the pump is not functioning properly, it can cause the engine to overheat. You can test the water pump by removing the drive belt and attempting to turn the pump by hand. If the pump is seized or not turning smoothly, it may need to be replaced.
  3. Check the coolant level: Make sure that the coolant level in the radiator is at the proper level. If the coolant level is low, it can cause the engine to overheat.
If you are unable to determine the cause of the overheating issue, it is recommended to have the vehicle inspected by a mechanic who can perform a more thorough diagnostic test and identify the root cause of the problem. They will be able to recommend the appropriate repairs to fix the issue and prevent further overheating.

1995 toyota camry le station wagon..overheating after new hoses radiator fuses and

If you replaced all of the above items, the thermostat could be installed upside down. Turn on the AC, the fan should run all the time when the AC is "on".

92' camry v6 started overheating ,noticed moister and drips from tail pipe. Blown head gasket or ? Also doesent appear to circulate in radiator untill I remove thermostat.Was going to R&R waterpum

A failed thermostat stuck closed will cause overheating. Test that item by boiling it. Nearly all car thermostats will have opened fully at 100 deg C. There may also be a number stamped on it to indicate its opening temp. You can keep track with a kitchen thermometer with a range above boiling.

A blown head gasket will often cause very quick overheating, and you may also see white bubbles like dry ice in the radiator neck. There is a simple test for combustion gases in the coolant, which any competent mech can do for you. The kit can also be bought from Autozone etc.

It is possible that the water pump has corroded away internally and is not circulating water, but if the car has always had antifreeze added, that should not happen. My Camry V6 water pump was still good after 220000 km. If you do get in there, replace the timing belt while you are at it.

A faulty temp sender in the block may also cause overheating, but only because it does not start the radiator fans when it should. You would notice if they were not running when the engine got really hot.

Tailpipe drips don't tell you much, as there is always moisture in the exhaust gas.

I HAVE A 93 TOYOTA CAMRY LE V6, THAT HAS A WATER PROBLEM, THE WATER KEEPS GETTING VERY HOT, ENGINE PUSHES THE WATER OUT TO THE COOLANT RESERVOIR, LEAVING MY RADIATOR DRY. I HAVE REPLACED THE THERMOSTAT AND...

These engines will overheat for many reasons. >>make sure there is no leaks at all, as air will cause the system to overheat while losing coolant at the same time. Depending if the radiator is original or after market, there may be TWO radiator caps (one on the engine and one on the radiator)- the one on the engine usually is faulty because of direct engine heat to the seal.>> On the thermostat housing, there is an O-ring at the end of the feeder pipe, usually leaks especially if the thermostat was replaced and not the O-ring. >>Check also the hydraulic driven radiator fan>>Check power steering fluid for proper levels first. unplug the switch atop the powersteering pump, start engine, rev to 2000 rpm (fan should increase in speed-you should hear it) if not it may be faulty.>> Check system for proper flow- With engine cold, remove the engine side radiator cap and rev the engine(1000rpm) slightly, notice if the coolant is flowing. If not, possible faulty pump, or clogged radiator. Hopefully this helps

Overheating and A/C problems.

If you get cold air when the heater is on, you have lost quite a bit of coolant. Now the question is what caused you to lose your coolant.

As long as you didn't drive around with your engine overheating, your engine should be fine. I think you would know if you had damaged your engine.

When the engine cools, fill your cooling system, start it up and check for leaks or overflow. If the only water your see is from the overflow when the engine starts to overheat, then it very well could be the water pump or thermostat. Chances are the thermostat will need to be replaced anyway.

If this doesn't solve your problem, write back.
