my gf's celica overheated today and by the time she realized the temp guage topped out, she was home and the car was steaming. when i got home from work i checked the coolant, it was low so i filled it and it isn't leaking. (not enough to notice) so i had her start the car and the fans didnt turn on at all while the temp guage topped out again after about 5 min.
i figure its probably the thermostat, Fan Switch/Relay, or the Fan itself. am i on the right track? how hard is it to pull the thermostat or fan switch/relay? Thanks, Erich |

no, should i try them out? or just bypass the heater for now and see if that helps?
ok, i just went to bypass the heater core and i noticed that it has already been done.and when i touch the hoses, the top one is piping hot and the lower one is just mildly hot so i'm thinking its the thermostat. This post has been edited by dliverance: Aug 12, 2009 - 12:08 PM |

It worked for me for a bit but after a few months to a few week to a few days and it will go back losing coolant. From what I've searched on this forum it could cause your heater to clog, but my heater worked fine. I know your losing coolant for a bit, but are you overheating? -------------------- God made man....
