Overheating help!!!!!
Overheating help!!!!!
So I am stuck and don't know what else to look for.
I've changed the radiator and thermostat. Bleed the bleeder and car still overheats. I am not getting any hot air coming from the vents either.
After about 20 mins of idle, fans kick on but nothing seems to happen. Driving the needle jumps to the top just going around the block. Too radiator hose gets full and super hot. But that's where it seems to stay. I disconnected the bypass line and there's nothing. I thought this line is to circulate coolant until t stat is ready to open.
Replaced the radiator bc it ended up spewing coolant from several pinholes by the cap. My guess those were created from all the pressure built up.
Aside from that once my car gets warm and I shut it off I hear a sucking/small bubble sound coming from what looks like one if the ignition coil areas on the front passenger side. But once the car is warm and I try to start it again, it starts then stalls and won't stay running.

Idk if you fixed this yet, but that sounds to me like it could be a head gasket. Change your oil and look for water/coolant in the oil. If you don't find it then you can look in the radiator for oil.. Make sure if you didn't already that you flush the new radiator and check water pump. If the water pump won't kick on then it won't circulate coolant If you run straight anti freeze it will hinder cooling. Check for stop leak in coolant. Flush the system with water a few times to help clean the water jacket. Check compression in the cylinder that gargles. Other than what I am doing(replacing complete cooling system) I don't know what else to do.. If it overheated to a point it warped the heads that won't get fixed with a gasket.. I have a strong feeling it is the head gasket. If not you can rest assure with a new cooling system, good compression, fresh coolant, and clean oil.. Lol hope this helps..
