I have a 2017 Ford Focus SEL that overheats only when the car is calling for 90% radiator fan speed. When it gets that high, it stops the fan. The thermostat, fan and fan control have been replaced and the coolant is new. What am I missing, here?

This was very helpful. My FF got hot two time and both of the was while idling for a while. Also, the AC blows hot cold. So it has to be that the fan is not coming on fast enough.

@MFDan69 6 ай бұрын

Any update here? So my FF overheats when I. Idle for too long or when I'm in traffic for too long. I have to turn on the heater to lower the temp but want to solve the issue not put a bandaid over

The fact that he doesn't mention the cooling doors up front, which were supposed to help highway gas mileage, is unfortunate. Did see one comment here that mentions them. Should definitely be something to check. My 13 overheated un 97° yesterday, having my daughter check them today...

My car typically overheats when im sitting at idle, i can turn the heater on full blast and it immediately brings the tenps back down.

2014 Ford festa ST - very hot day here in Texas, I have drove the car in a few days,. Jump in go 7 miles, get an inspection sticker drive across the street, gassed up the car. I noticed it was a little hot, so I went and bought drink and Waited for it to cool down but it never did. I pulled it away from the gas pump came back an hour later, same thing height temp warning and check engine light. Came back 3 hours later temp outside still around 90. Temp sensor still on. Coolant read was 126C after total of 5 hours setting. Decide to drive it home ~7 miles, max speed was 8mph. Heater on the whole time... coolant level looks fine, oil level looks fine.. could it be that sensor or possibly the thermostat closed. If it was the head gasket what would I be looking for?

@lvl10cooking Жыл бұрын

If it didn’t come back, the problem could’ve been either a false overheat, or it could have just been road and driving conditions like going up or down steep grades, having to pass a lot, or towing (that last one seems stupid but I have seen smart cars towing lawn trailers)

Maybe coolant reservoir cap

@dongjuang4196 Жыл бұрын

In my case it was oil radiator. It was broken and some small quantity of oil was getting into the coolant contaminating the system. Temperature sensor was showing overheat but almost immediately returned to normal. If your temperature sensor behaves like this that may be the case.

My water outlet/thermostat just fell apart and caused a full coolant leak.

I have a question regarding my 2014 focus. It has been running fine, no issues. Yesterday I was driving and all of a sudden I lost power. It shuttered a little and I could not accelerate. The check engine light came on and then it completely died. I got pulled over and tried to start it and it only cranks. Check with code reader and it gave #1 cylinder misfire code. Check all plugs and replaced #1 coil pack. Still wont start. I was reading and there is a recall for the pcm. Could this be my problem? And if so, is there something i can do to fix because it is the weekend and cant get to shop right now.

Losing power can only be electrical or a fuel problem. I would check #5 in the video because you may be getting a false reading and that could throw you for a loop.
