sometimes that causes things
to wear out from lack of use
(like a radiator cap seal).
This should express that it is
important to check your
vehicle's coolant system with
the RADIATOR CAP ON after
checking the fluid level!If
you have a problem with
overheating, check (hoses

belt that drives water pump
(3) radiator core
blockage/rust(4) thermostat
opening when it should?(5)
fan/fan clutch/fan switch
working?(6) radiator cap
holding pressure?(7) water
pump (squeeze hose to
check)(8) ignition timing(9)
improper grade/lack of
oil?(10) bad temperature

your fix was the easy 5 minute
fix mine was! Also this
vehicles operating costs
(insurance, registration,
