Over Heating !

[justinhill98gst]

Well today the car was running fine all day until night time. The car is over heating there was smoke coming out of the coolant contaner so i put more coolent in the contaner and i also put more in the hole where the cap is, i Started to drive again and it start to heat up again so this point i was like wtf! i check my oil and my contaner to see if my head gasket went but every thing was fine what could cause this problem when i just got the thing flushed. also the fans are working. mods:t/3/t4 50 trim, 550cc injectors ,38mm wastegate ,turbonetic manifold , hks ssqv,hard icp,front mount,act 2100,3inch turbo back exhaust,safc 2,255 walbro pump,

dead pump, or thermostat not opening possibly. Only insight I can shine on this

sooo this happened after you flushed the system?

If so crap could have gotten in the radiator if flushed improperly...

Thermostat is always the first suspect though

You're in Minnesota and my guess is that it's cold as balls where you are. A lot of times you get coolant lines bursting which lets air into your system and you overheat. Also, what's your coolant to water ratio? Is it possible it got cold enough to freeze. I doubt it though if you said it was running good for awhile and then started overheating. Your water pump could have given up the ghost as well.

Cold weather is hard on cooling systems. Burp the system and see if a lot of air comes out and then see if it still overheats. May as well swap the thermostat out too. Look for leaks too. The little piece of hose that goes from the water neck to the coolant line always ruptures, but you'd see coolant leaking. Luckily for you the cooling system is simple and should be easy to track down. Give it a good once over and report back.

My bet is that little pieces of metal, and any other garbage in the cooling system either plugged a bunch of the passages in the radiator, or junked up the water pump. Im under this impression due to the fact that it was running fine before the flush. But before doing that burp the system, and check the radiator cap seal to make sure its not dry rotted.

The flush was done awail ago maybe Three months,Im gonna try the thermostat and pray to god that its not the pump. i also tryed burping the system but there no air in any of the lines.

No, DSMs do not need burping. So you can take that off the candidate's list.
