My 2004 t-bird has overheating problems

Hi Jess. First you need to use a code reader to retrieve the code . When you do so I will be able to help you. It's a 2005 vehicle mean new generation cars. So let's stopped the guessing part that can lead you by west
More money. If you can give me the code I will be able to help. That's what I do for a living. For you it's free service.

Ask if the system was checked for leaks. Not just die checked but by actually hooking up gauges and watching. The system could be pulling in air ( and moisture) after being shut down. This is unlikely. But when you eliminate the obvious you have to start looking at the unlikely.

may have slipped on the track mechanism and needs adjusted custom car shop may help with this..good luck..

Ignition module or crankshaft postion sensor . Test it in the vehicle , test light , volt meter . Videos on youtube .

the timing belt and sensor keep it in time and sync,, that shouldn't prevent it from starting, if starting is the issue you may need a starter,, depending on the mileage this is just one of those things, I have a Kia and mine went out at 120k

Crack in the top of the block where the head meets. Must replace block.
I advise finding the same engine and having the blown one as a spare.

Never go to a dealer
If you don't do your own work, stay with the
local repair shop

Your out of warantee a long time ago

You will loose one or two coils a year
They are $59.00 at the auto parts store
One bolt,10 min ,and your done

If you have a V6 and they go bad on the pass side, you have to
remove the upper intake for coils or plugs

Other fords the same. You know what not to buy next
time, or look over the motor first

I have spent $59.00 on my 2004 V8 and others
on this site are up to $4000.00 at a dealer and nothing
fixed,point made.
You need to know the technology and how it works,test
first,not the dealer way,then replace parts if necessary

Sounds like a timing belt,, open the oil cap and look in there with a flash light,,
have someone turn the key if you see nothing moving in there then its the timing belt,,

I would look at the alternator. I had a grand am that would do that to me, even with a brand new battery. The alternator output wasn't able to run the vehicle and charge the battery. Alternators are picky things, especially being in Canada (which I assume from the KM), the hot and cold cycles don't play nicely with the brushes and core. I'd have the alternator checked and replaced if needed.
