Water o top of engine - will not start - 2008 Ford Fusion 2.2

Whith the car cool
1- Remove the radiator cap
2- Disconnect the TOP hose FROM the radiator
3- With a garden hose or a bucket of water ready
4- Start the engine
5- As old coolant fluid flows from the top hose to the floor
6- Pour fresh water on the radiator so it doesn't dry
7- When you see clear water coming from the top hose
8- You have rinsed the cooling system of the engine
9- Start pouring refrigerant on the radiator
10- As you start to see refrigerant pouring from the top hose
11- Now you have only refrigerant on your system as you should
12- Quickly reconnect the top hose to the radiator
13- The problem should be solved

fuse?had oil? don't think so how hot did it get check rad.make sure water in it ,if got really hot might be froze up chek battery also must have good battery

Water pump?Air lock!!!

First of all use a 50/50 mix coolant and water WITH THE ENGINE COLD on the radiator remove the cap by pushing down and turning fill to top start engine and water will go down a little add more till full turn off engine replace cap push down and turn follow the tube from the cap on the radiator to the overflow tank and fill it half way Start run til all warmed up. shut off let cool all the way and then check levels and fill to top and half if necessary

Sounds like the water pump if you have had all that done. Remover the filler cap on the engine that says "DO NOT OPEN WHEN HOT" please dont open it when hot. check that it is full and you don't have an airlock (it will fill your header bottle as well if you go right to the top. Start the engine and you should see the water circulating top up if it goes down. If when the engine is running, the water gets blown out with force then I would be looking at cylinder head or gasket problem. If after topping up in the engine water point, and you can see water circulating, top it right up and replace the cap. providing you have no leaks this should have cured the overheating. No circulation means, change the water pump. Hope that helps.

if all you did was to replace the top radiator hose and only lost the coolant from the top tank, all you should have to do is to refill the radiator up to the cap level and start the engine . Watch the water in the radiator and when the engine starts to warm up the thermostat will slowly open and the water in the radiator will go down . refill the radiator while the engine is running and when the system is full of water you will know by the temperature of the water in the radiator . It will be hot to the touch. Replace the cap.

none as such just fill it up to the top start engine and let it warm up a bit then top up when cool for a vehicle like this ,only old renaults and peugeots had bleed out oints on the heater hoses at the back of the engine or on top of the top hose like the old renault 4 .if its blowing out water then put a pressure tester on it to see if the pressure is building up when engine is started and first run .

If you can see water pouring from the front and the rear of the engine/cylinder head then I would suspect a head gasket. However, why not remove those components which will allow you to fully inspect the water pump first as the chances are that you would also have to remove these items to remove and repair the head gasket. You may also find water in the engine oil or water in the cylinders which can cause locking of the engine and serious internal damage if not addressed immediately.

Does it show signs of over heating at all? When cool, take off rad cap & check level in rad & top it up. If down a lot, start engine, turn on heat & let run until you hear rad fan come on & check temperature gauge to see if normal operating temperature. Let it come on a couple of times, and top up rad an inch or so from top, then put rad cap back on. Top up bottle to proper level & try it. If it spits back into return bottle, try replacing rad cap.

Thats not a good sign. When a engine overheads, the heads tend to warp, especially aluminum heads.It could be something as simple as a hose or waterpump leaking, but because its associated with an overheat condition, I suspect a warped head. Most garages have a pressure tester where they can pressurize your coolant system and check for leaks without the engine running.
