Jefferson Moreira Posted August 17, 2018 Report Share Posted August 17, 2018 A few months ago maintenance was done on the engine of my Journey 2.7 and again I had an engine problem that overheated and damaged. It was heating only when in high rotation on the road, inside the city nothing happened. They could help me figure out the problem, the water pump had already been replaced.

rossco Posted August 19, 2018 Report Share Posted August 19, 2018 (edited) Check your radiator has good flow and also check the thermostat isn't sticking. Any radiator that's even partially blocked can kill engines. Could explain why your cooling fan has no issue controlling the system temperature in the city but fails on the open road as higher revs = more heat, failure to expel heat = overheat. Also check your coolant is rich enough and not had water added too many times. Rossco Edited August 19, 2018 by rossco 2late4u 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

And the cooalant fluid is normal Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossco Posted August 21, 2018 Report Share Posted August 21, 2018 You don't say whether you've had the thermostat changed or not? I mentioned this in my first post. They can get "sticky" and appear to work ok at times. Removing the thermostat to discount it is a regularly used diagnostic method. Also the easy way checking rad in and out hose temps can indicate there is no flow due to thermostat being closed. Rossco jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Eu mencionei isso no meu primeiro post. Eles podem ficar "pegajosos" e parecem funcionar bem às vezes. Remover o termostato para descontá-lo é um método de diagnóstico usado regularmente. Além disso, a maneira mais fácil de verificar a entrada e saída de mangueira pode indicar que não há fluxo devido ao fechamento do termostato. Rossco The thermostat has been removed.

Hankster Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Time to have a professional mechanic diagnose this, probably better than just throwing parts at it. Hank jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

rossco Posted August 23, 2018 Report Share Posted August 23, 2018 Would also help I find you would tell us everything that you have had done already so we can stop wasting time making suggestions you've already tried. At this point I would be checking the radiator flow again as something's not right. Just because water comes out the bottom does not mean "it's fine". rossco jkeaton 1 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Armando G Posted August 28, 2018 Report Share Posted August 28, 2018 I won't jump in and try to pull any teeth. You guys can play 100 questions and maybe come up with the answer. OhareFred and jkeaton 2 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
