engin overheat

[92laserboy]

well i have a 92 plymouth laser non-turbo and my problem is that my engin overheats we now have the fans straigt wired to run all of the time like the water in the colant bottle over flows because it is so hot and u can hear it bubbling up and the rubber pipe that goes into the bottle has steam coming from it

so i could really use some help

Have you tried a new radiator cap? I would try that, then try burping the system. A quick search should tell you how to burp a car, and a radiator cap is pretty self-explanatory. Do those things then come back here if the problem persists.

Sounds like something is blocked has your radiator sprung a leak before and you used "Bar's Radiator Repair"

If you have a repair shop near you that will do a coolant pressure test I would look into that asap. They will tell you whether you have a leak or if your radiator cap is bad. Its either a leak, bad rad cap,bad thermostat or air in the system.

well the radiator does not leak it is just the coolant bottle the stuff in that gets hot and bubbles up this is the 4g37 engin and the thermostat is brand new what do yall thing about the raditator fan switch or maybe the engin temp sensor or maybe a cracked block do u think it could be one of those thing

Check your mixture of antifreeze too.
Did you get the pre mixed stuff or mix your own?

If you changed your cap, replaced your thermostat, and purged your system of air, and verified your radiator is good, I'd check for water pump flow. Take off your radiator cap when your car is COLD and start it - leave the cap off and let it warm up. See if when it's warm you can see coolant flowing through the thermostat housing. If you do it verifies your water pump is good. If you see bubbles appearing while doing this, you either have more air that didn't get purged, or you have a possible bad head gasket.
