OVERHEATING HELP! HELP!

[mista_sup]

i just put a turbo motor in and it began to sputter for the first week or so. i finally took it out for a ride and when i got back home and turned it off antifreze began to spit out of the over flow tank.

i am praying it is not the head gasket, but it is not smoking or any thing. the car sat for about a year before i got it running.

what do you think it could be???:1zhelp: :1zhelp: :1zhelp:

Do you have any codes? It might just be a bad radiator cap.

I am getting a code 32 and no smoke at all...

So... was it overheating? Or was your only indication that anything was wrong the overfilled overflow bottle?

i did not think about the cap. but what is a code 32. i checked the air flow meater and the wiring behind it but everything is fine. dont know what it could be.

Like mkIIIman said, is it just spitting out coolant or was it indicating it was hot? If it is spitting coolant, make sure you didn't swap the hoses on the overflow bottle.

it was showing hot. i just changed the cap today and it did not spit but it did show a little high. do you think the fan shroud has anything to do with it.

If you just got it running it could be air in the system. Fan shroud? you don't have one on? Could add to the problem of running a little hot.

 

[mista_sup]

cool i will look into that..

Put a new thermostat in it while you’re at it. If that doesn’t work and you have burped it and put a new cap on it the last thing it could be is a clogged radiator. After that you’re looking at a head gasket.

cool i got the thermostat yesterday. will put it on today. hope it works....
