Need quick help!
Can someone tell me why my engine just over heated? I replaced my heater hoses with the metal ones so that it would look better. Now I'm sittin on the side of the road with an over heated engine! I checked for leaks already and there arnt any! The radiator is still filled with fluid! I don't understand!

Only a couple of possibilities I can think of.
1. Did you purge the air out of your system after the installation? 2. Maybe a plug was disconnected for the electric fans by accident? It’s really hard to tell when you can’t be there and I am sure you took care of number 1. |

Dumb question here guys, but how do you purge the coolant system??

Thnx for the quick responses! I'm thinkin maybe it was an air pocket... I let it cool down for about 45 min reopened the radiator and the fluid level has dropped and inch or two... Thought I got it all out! Guess not! Good thing I still had a lttle fluid left in my trunk to top it off with! I was hoping there wasn't something I missed when I replaced the hoses!

No worries same thing happened to me. I thought I had everything out but once that air pocket hits the pump... no more coolant flow.
