Thermostat: It regulates the engine's temperature and it changes the refrigerant flow into the radiator.
Lire la suite
It is activated automatically due to the temperature of the refrigerant that flows into it. If the temperature is low, it will be closed and it will stop the refrigerant from flowing into the radiator, and this will keep the engine warm (during the ignition process or in really cold days). If it is hot, it will open and let the refrigerant flow through the radiator.
I drive around at least 2 hrs or more and 06 f150 you go to mash pedal down to pull out or to go up hill or to pass and truck just shuts off no power anything no lights nothing. I've replaced throttle body, fuel pump control mod. Up by spare tire. Ive replaced fuel filter. Thermostat, air filter , sill have this issue I really would like to drive my truck again. What else should I fix.
The pcm fuse in the interior fuse box on the driver side is blown. It happens when the fuel module goes out or has a bad ground. The wire harness for the pcm runs through the frame of the truck. I went through 3 pcm and probably 20 fuses trying to figure why I had this issue. There is an exposed wire running from the wire harness touching the frame. Good luck
Id start by changing complete fuse box. The whole box! I had almost identical issue almost 2 yrs ago, never could figure it out. Had a rare day off work and a bit of tinker brain wanting to tinker and had looked at everything imaginable. So i daid to hell with it i puuld the box and took it apart, completely! I seperated the circuit boards and foun a blown trace. Completeley seperated trace, finger,run or whatecer you wish to call it. It was completely seperated like a ¼in gap seperation. Snatched a box from junkyard hokked it up and been gettinit ever since
I have a Ford F150 XL 4WD 5.4L. What happens is that after stoppin for around 10 minutes the water starts leaking, but there is no high temperature indication until it lost around half the water, and then it indicates it's overheating.
Notes:
* I removed the thermostat two monhts ago
* I removed the water pump but it looks in good shape, it might be leaking but very very little, not enough to run out of water in 10 minutes
* It has 200.000 miles
* I can't see any leak in the water hoses
* The readiator doesn't seem clogged
* The water intake is not leaking
* There is no warning light in the dashboard
Check the fan clutch, sometimes they don't work and the engine is not cooled. I have a 2000 model, and when I bought it it was overheating and leaking water the same way as yours
Samsung exact problem also ford f150 2001 larieit 5.4. No heat blowing just changed thermostat and still does it. Also only overheating when it's about half full in reservoir.
Did you remove or replace... those are two completely different words. If you removed the water pump, then all the water sis draing out...if you replaced the water pump, then the water will not drain out unless you did it wrooong and it leaks. Hot water is highpressure. It will frain in ten minutes.
I am getting oil in my coolant bottle but no coolant in my engine oil. I replaced the oil cooler and flush everything but it still happens. When flushing the engine nothing but coolant comes out, no oil. Truck runs great, not overheating, no codes. Has new radiator, water pump, thermostat and some hoses. Noticed some hoses getting swollen I guess from the oil. It is a 2017 F150 3.5l ego boost with 132,000 miles on it. Did a head gasket test and the blue changed to a light yellow. Any ideas?
Update: I discovered when my truck wouldn’t move that it was 2 quarts low on transmission fluid. It looks like it is transmission fluid mixing with my coolant not motor oil. I have a heat exchanger to cool the fluid. Waiting on the part to come in and will update if that solves it.
Check to see if you have proper coolant flow in the radiator and also check the coolant reservoir cap to see if it’s holding pressure I think it’s anywhere from 10-15 lbs of pressure replace it if it holds less than that
Heat works sometimes. Drained all coolant from truck. Flushed all components with garden hose. Replaced thermostat and coolant. Had heat for a while then stopped. Replaced thermostat again. Had heat right away put got cold 3 miles down the road.
Check to see if your blend door actuator is not resting it self back to cold that one should be behind the radio sometimes goes bad or it will make a clicking sound good luck
I'm usually very capable of making repaired on my truck, this has me stumped. I replaced the thermostat, flushed the system still blowing cold. When I first flushed the system it blew warm for about 5 minutes then became cold again. Open for any ideas. Please jim
Coolant fan runs very fast even when engine is cold Have tried everything except Freon being low replace Thermostat and water pump Also replace head temperature sensor new antifreeze new radiator or reservoir cap I'm dumbfounded as to what to do
Truck starts overheating about 1/2 mile away after I start driving. Radiator hose swells up bad and a lot of pressure. Replaced thermostat. Checked coolant. And checked head gasket. Still overheating. Need help
Truck keeps throwing aMAS air flow code. I kept driving it until lost pretty much all power. I then replaced mass air flow reset the codes and now it has different codes and still same problem of no power. It said now that it’s the front 2 O2 sensors plus the cat plus the thermostat and it’s runs rich both banks stuck open
Originally only happened when temperatures were below (-15). Have had thermostat replaced/ system flushed/ New 21psi overflow cap put on. Does not happen when idling only when I get on the highway. Has been in the RED and I hit a bump and immediately drops to normal. (Why I replaced T-stat), but now it still wants to overheat once on the highway, but if while driving I give it some gas it will sometimes stable out to normal temperature. In Alaska and nearest dealership is 100 miles away.
