Is your car engine overheating? Does your cars motor run hot? In this video, I explain how-to troubleshoot and diagnose an overheating engine in 9 simple steps. I show you how to tell if each system is working properly. This happens to be a cooling system from a Jeep Cherokee but the same rules apply across all makes and models including jeep, dodge, ford, chevy, toyota, and almost all others.

The clutch fan on my '88 Cherokee didn't budge with the engine off. It still spun when the engine was running, but the clutch was seized. I found a couple of fans at a junkyard that still spun freely and swapped out the original for one of the junkyard fans. Had to pull the radiator, but got it done.

Hey Man thanks a lot for the video, it helped me figure out my stupid mistake. I have a 01 Intrepid rt 3.5, and it kept overheating after i tried to fix a mess with the fan wires. I had one of the fans pushing air instead of extracting it, I never would have thought to look at the direction they were blowing. All fixed now. Guy i bought it from thought it was the water pump, but he just didnt have things connected correctly. The reservoir tank was connected wrong too. Saved myself a few hundred dollars at the shop and future headaches thanks to this video!!!

When flushing the system , I recommend also reverse flushing . Especially the heater core . I have had heaters that were only warm come back to life with a reverse flush - directly on the core . Deposits build up over time and cut down on the heat . Also on the radiators , the tubes can get restricted . You can use a laser thermometer to check ALL the tubes . They are usually colder in the middle of the radiator if clogged . You can also put your hand on the tubes to check for cold areas - if you can get it in there . BUT you don't want your hand near an electric fan , even when not running . If hot , they can still turn on with the ignition off .

So my radiator is at 175 all around but in the center it’s cool. I can touch it. I thought it was because the clutch fan was pulling in air the most right there. I checked it right after taking the upper fan shroud off then I could stick my hand and a lazer thermometer everywhere with out the clutch fan in the way

@billsmith2212 2 жыл бұрын

@@Arizona_rider I would think if the tubes are cold in the center of the radiator , it's because they are clogged and not allowing hot coolant to get through them . It will cut down on the ability of the radiator to get rid of the heat . I would replace the radiator . Also check the thermostat and circulation from the water pump . A reverse flush of the entire system, including the heater core , will bring everything back to full potential . You are working on a complete cooling system . Don't just slam a radiator in without doing a complete job . Don't forget to check the cooling fans . And don't run straight water .

@@billsmith2212 I just had my 454 dually redone. I changed everything to stock. Someone had an idea for a show truck but on a really tight budget. I decided to pull everything out and redo it from stock. Only thing is I can’t keep it from overheating after the outside temperature gets above 100. I even spent 1200 on a new ac. Once it gets 230 I turn heat on and sweat it out. It’s all factory now. Even the old engine did the same thing

@Arizona_rider 2 жыл бұрын

@@billsmith2212 I just got off the phone with the builder and he said the center is going to be cold because that’s where the fan clutch pulls the most. The coolant sensor and thermostat is what he said to look at. Those thermostat’s are junk now and they see alot of them failing in the last 5 years

@billsmith2212 2 жыл бұрын

@@Arizona_rider If the center is cold , the tubes are blocked . Because you are in an extremely hot area , you may want to upgrade to an oversized radiator and cooling fans with more CFM . There may also be a water pump with more flow . But if the coolant moves too fast , it may not allow it to give up the heat when going through the radiator . However , the larger radiator may balance that out . Look into radiator shrouds and air dams that direct the air flow . I would think there are shops that specialize in cooling systems , especially in Arizona . A specialist may have a complete system to get the temperature down . I would start with that blocked radiator core .

Hey Matt, I've watched this video several times and changed out pretty much the whole cooling system in a 99 XJ. New pump, thermostat, cap, rad is less than 2 years old and the hoses look good and fairly new. I've also flushed several times. I thought it may be the "spring" in the lower hose so I changed out the lower hose and sure enough, no spring. I've been to several local auto parts stores but they don't have any with springs. So I used a new one hose from Autozone. It does seem more stiff than the old one, but she's still overheating and after running, antifreeze upchucks out of the reservoir. Does this sound like the lower hose is collapsing and if so, where do I get a spring? Thank you for all your videos, I watch them all the time:)

@bleepinjeep 9 жыл бұрын

robpossible I've read about this and apparently only the Factory hoses had springs and they were for filling the system with antifreeze quickly on the assembly line and were not needed after that. Another theory, modern hoses are stiff enough they don't need springs anymore.

Replacement of the viscous clutch on the mechanical fan will suck volumes of cooling air through the radiator,replace it,if you have overheating problems,as there is really no way of telling if it is working correctly ..Replacement of the viscous clutch can make a major difference to the running of your jeep, never overlook or pass the replacement of the viscous clutch by.

Honda civic's with the heater core up higher that the radiator cap are bad about this. I use a special funnel to bleed out the air. Keep up the good work.

I have a 2003 honda 140k that's been always overheats, I pour coolant into it and it's fine with highway driving it's not until I stop or idle that the temp gauge begins to climb. Around the time I stop/idle after driving the a/c will change from blowing hot air to blowing cold air. After it overheats I'll pull it off to the side and check the components the overflow tank looks to have spitted out all the antifreeze towards the bottom and some on the air intake. I've had a new thermostat installed, fans checked/electricals, new radiator was installed. I thought it was a bad head gasket but there is no white pummels of smoke or a milky dipstick and I had a mechanic do a chemical test and it came back negative. What might be wrong? Thank you

Mine is perfect stock system with high flow pump and still overheats. Az summers 35’s 4:88 won tons and loaded up with strong tuned up 4.0 is too much for it so had to install a large trans cooler which works wonders! I now think the leading cause of overheating cherokees may be this exact thing. rad fan shrouds super important and removing stock skid plate that creates vacuum on backside of rad is a bad thing but we all must do it for a multitude of reasons.

Very thorough thank you...also love the goggles...is there risk of putting air back into the system with the pressure cap off while running/testing?? I also thought that you are to put coolant in while the engine it's cold only, so how would it effect it one filling it with the engine hot?

I added water to my 2005 Impala park up facing a hill and you were right! Thank you for the video and that radiator was thirty for water.

on my jeep the same relay works the fan no matter the reason for it coming on. I have no idea but would start by figuring out what tells the relay that the A/C is on then check the wiring from there.

Thank you for your reply, I can see where my coolant is going its all going out from overflow bottle from top because of boiled steam water bottle got cracked from top, So when hot boiled water comes from engine to radiator instead of going into radiator it goes to overflow bottle and spreads out.

could be a ton of things but I would check that you don't have a clogged radiator first, that you didn't install the thermostat backwards, and that the spring in the lower radiator hose is still there (if it is suppose to have one).

Eric, fine video. the down hill burping seems to have done it, thanks

Very good video. Thanks. One additional issue may be the existence of combustion gases in the cooling system due to a cracked head or head gasket.

Yes, you should consider yourself lucky! but did you get the stock 195° thermostat? do you have a 3 core radiator? and to know the real temp you need a laser temp gun.
