LumiDriver Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 See, this is what throws me, I've done all that. Step by step, and it still overheats. Hell to the point to where this car shut off on me. I was on the highway and it was overheating, but the damn thing isn't leaking coolant anymore. but how the hell could a blown LIM eat 2 gallons of coolant. So I toss another 1/2 gallon in it. It cools down, and then overheats again!!!!! WHAT THE FUCK!> Pardon my language, but I've about had it with this car. It's acting like there is no coolant, BUT, until yesterday, it was runnign fine, up to Tstat temp, then cool, up again in a few and it steadied right about the middle. Now it's like there is no coolant in there...what the hell..I'm going to kill my car. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumiDriver Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Can anyone help with this? I'm sitting here leeching off a hotel wireless with my car overheating withing 2 minutes of starting up. I just changed the water pump (cause that was the main issue), and it's not leaking anywhere from what I can see (such as puddles on the ground etc). I'm stuck basically, I have no way to fix it if it is something big and I have no money to get a new car because my parents hate me...fuck.

ManicMechanic Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Sounds like a stuck thermostat to me. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumiDriver Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Well, the car died. It won't stay running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Chancho Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 Id start with the thermostat and go from there, where your coolant is going... its prob boiling over Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
LumiDriver Posted November 14, 2007 Report Share Posted November 14, 2007 I normally would think that, but it's not boiling over, there is no coolant anywhere in the engine bay. I think that it's being burned and I think that the LIM completely failed on the last drive. It won't stay running. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
