My chevy venture van is overheating

First off...Is it actually overheating? Or is the gauge just saying it is overheating? You could check the sensor which I believe is below the thermostat housing. Second I noticed you say you HAD the work done...was this at an actual auto shop or you or a friend doing this work? If it is a shop, they should be able to diagnose the problem. If a friend then have them check the resistance on the sensor. With all the replacements and repairs there can't be many problems except the sensor or the timing...If the timing is to far advanced then the engine will overheat. That is where I would go after checking the temp sensor. The timing on small engines will determine what temp the engine runs. Good Luck

I have a 1988 Jeep Comanche, w/4.0 automatic,w/only 71,000 original miles on it. It overheated last week, and I have changed the thermostat and now the water pump-and it still is overheating .Oh and I am...

check your coolant temperature switch, and also after you replaced the waterpump, and thermostat, did you get all of the air out of the system, on a lot of the jeeps , on the thermostat housing , there is a threaded screw in the housing, i believe it takes a allen wrench to remove the screw, this will let air out of the cooling system, the best way to do this , is when you are refilling the system, remove the screw, and when the coolant reaches the area of the screw and starts to come out, replace the screw, and this bleeds the system.

2003 trailblazer overheating while @ idle

Check the wiring and connections on the coolant temperature sensor that I believe is on the thermostat housing. If they look good, replace the sensor. It is pretty rare to have an electric cooling fan motor fail but not impossible. They are usually very expensive. Expensive enough that you will want to make sure that is the problem before you replace it. Usually the sensor will fail. **Please rate me on this answer.**

Random Overheating Problem on Peugeot 206

It sounds like your thermostat has gone bad and sticking close, Replace the Thermostat and Antifreeze. When replacing the thermostat, buy a fail safe thermostat so you will not have a overheating problem when the thermostat fails. Good luck and hope this helps. Keep me posted, be glad to help.
