bad thermostat.plugged up radiator

Thermostat would be the obvious choice...and if it isn't that, it is possibly a plugged radiator or water jacket...Any horror stories about buying a 2002 gran caravan 3.8 litre engine?

thermostat is stuck closed. u can buy one with a safety feature that when it fails, it is stuck open so your car wont overheat. they are at most fourteen bucks or so at advance auto. worse case is u have blockage in cooling system. try flushing out system if thermostat isnt the issue. i have heard NOT to use those chemical flushing products. i just use a garden hose and wait until it comes out clear.Will timing belt repair go on a car history report?
I would say check the thermostat that would be the cheapest way to goMy 1998 ford explorer remote unlocks but will not lock anymore what gives?
Air trapped in the cooling system. Check to see if there is a valve on top of the thermostat housing that you can unscrew and let out the trapped air. If that doesn't work then check that your fans come on. Worse case is that your head gasket or head is cracked that can lead to over heating when the combustion leaks into your cooling system and heats up the coolant too fast.plugged radiator, thermostat, engine fan not working, collapsed radiator hose, or when you put the water pump on you didn't bleed all the air out of the system and it's not taking fluid properly.

thermostat is one thing but the bad thing it could be is broken head gasket.. if the engine has overhead several times this maybe your answer..or you've got cloged radiator.. check it does it have yellowish/orange color sludge? other than that maybe your cooling fan doesnt work..Hi everyone,i am having a issue with my 85 blazer transmission?
And why did you change the water pump? Just to see if maybe that was the problem? Check the thermostat. Check the radiator for blockage. Check hoses to see if one is blocked or is collapsing on you. If you have electric fans, make sure they are coming on when the coolant gets hot. If you don't know how to do those checks, find a mechanic close enough that you can get there before it overheats.just wondering how come you changed your water pump?.was it leaking there?..
ya might want to check the thermostat...i would also recommend that you get a pressure tester for your cooling system pump up your system and wait to see if you have a leak do this before you change your thermostat. don't over pump your system only go with as much pressure as your radiator cap is rated for.
if you pump your system and you don't loose pressure after about an hour or so...change thermostats...if ya see water on the ground look for where its coming from...
if loose pressure and no fluid on the ground...could be a cracked or blown head gasket..or a burnt valve.well good luck to ya

Possible causes of overheating are: Clogged radiator tubes, collapsing inner ply of radiator hose, bad thermostat, engine out of time and in the worst case, a blown head gasket or cracked block.When you change your water pump, you must install a new thermostat, before you do, drill a small 3/32in hole into the flat part of the thermostat.

Then, BURP your cooling system run the car for about 5 minutes and you'll see movement in the coolant...this mean the thermostat has opened. Pour coolant until you fill the radiator. Fill your overflow to the hot cold level.
