Car overheating

Remove the cap on the radiator when the car is cold, make sure the radiator is full of coolant. Start the car and let it run with the cap off. If you see bubbles appearing while the car is running it's possible you have a bad head gasket and that may be the cause of the overheating.

Just to add. There are a couple things that we should check as you may be correct that the no heat is related but that may be a separate issue with the blend door.

Let's start with checking the inlet and outlet heater core hoses. I attached below the documents that show where these are. Just start the engine and let it get hot but not to the point of overheating. Then turn the heat on full and the heater core hoses should be about the same temp and hot to the touch.

If they are not hot then you most likely have an air pocket that could be cause both issues.

At this point you will want to follow the process that I also attached below on how to drain and fill the cooling system. If this is what you are doing and still getting air in the system then try jacking up the corner of the vehicle that is closest to the coolant cap and this try to allow the air out of the system as the air will work its way to the highest point.

Here is a video that is similar to what you are doing and it could help as well:

Run through all this material and let us know what questions you have. Thanks

Sorry to hear it. That is never fun but at least you know what it is. Thanks for the update.

We can provide that for you but unfortunately we need to get a new post started. That is good info that others will not find under this topic. We need to keep each one to one topic just so that others can find the answers as well and they won't find timing info under an overheating topic.

Sorry for any inconvenience but here is a link to get a new one started:
