Hi,

I have an 02' with 1.7L in it and I will occasionally overheat(not to the max just above normal) but if I drive it usually returns back down to normal operating temp. It tends to only overheat at slow speeds or when not moving. I suspect it may be my fan not kicking on, as they don't seem to turn on when I turn my a/c they do not turn on either.

Just replaced the thermostat so I eliminated that from the overheating.


Thanks

edit: got the fans to work, will test later tonight.

Problem!
What did you do?

I charged the A/C and then unplugged and plugged in the A/C compressor.

Still having the overheating problem, heat goes dead while idling but goes down when driving, coolant being pushed out the res, pretty sure head gasket is gone.

check your oil for radiator fluid. if it looks god flush your radiator and see if that fixes it.

Sounds like it's a blown head gasket so far.

Easy to test and prove it.

Check your tire pressures. If they are low, fill em up to 30psi. Use nitrogen. See if that fixes it.
