My engine is overheating please help me?

Sounds like a blown head to me mate. Very bad if you can tell the engine is way hotter than it should be (melting the oil cap, smoking) and it overheats quickly. Wipe your finger round the inside of the radiator, if you get greasy gunk then your oil and coolant are mixing and it's probably the worst.

I have a 2000 Toyota Camry with a 2.2L engine that overheated a little while ago. When it started to overheat there was also a considerable amount of engine noise. So we towed it home but we weren't able to work on it till about two weeks later. When we tried to get it up to my garage to start working on it we started it up but when we put it into drive it stalled. When we tried to start it up again it would not start. We started by draining the oil which only had 1,500 miles on it but it looked like it had about 8,000 miles of use. We also drained the coolant and there was metal shavings in it so I think that means it has a water pump issue but since the car won't start there is now more than that now. Thanks For A Quick Response

I change thermostat, radiator and water pump but my car still overheating when I runing after 10 minutes start to overheating and the nidles going up. We change everything that I mentioned but the overheating continue. What I have to do?

To begin with, I have had everything replaced in my cooling sysytem. Water pump was replaced a few years ago and it has been reinspected and pressure tested since for any possible leaks. The first time my car overheated about a month ago ihad my radiater replaced. Then it overheated again and I was told it was the head gasket. And on top of that it damaged the radiater that I had replaced only a couple of weeks before that. It cost me 2000 to get it fixed. I drive it home and not even a week later it overheats. I have to tow it over to the mechanics but am very weary about what they will tell me. I would think that after they took everything apart they would have inspected all the aspects or parts of the cooling system. The coolant level is empty but no visible signs of leaking anywhere.

I have a 2000 toyota camry Le, 2.2L, 4 cylinder. Recently I have been having some overheating problems with my car. I have been doing a rather extensive amount of research at to what my problem could be, and these are my attempts to fix the problem.

First: Noticed that when idle the engine temperature needle begins to climb after a decent amount of time on the road (2 - 3 hours around 2000rpm). And eventually red lines if not tended to.
Second: This does not occur while driving, due to free flowing air passing through the radiator. This leads me to believe that there is no blockage within my radiator.
Third: I have been able to remedy the situation by turning on my heater at full blast to pass air through my heater core and cool the engine. And also when I turn my A/C on to force the radiator fans to turn on and cool the radiator.
Fourth: Radiator fans do not turn on automatically when the thermometer needle begins to climb past halfway.
Fifth: I am able to force the fans on by disconnecting the thermo/fan switch, which connects to the coolant temperature sensor on the bottom of my radiator. But when it reconnects the fans turn off.

Sixth: I have changed all included:
water-pump,
water-pump belt,
relays to both the fans,
master four pronged fan relay,
ECT sensor/fan switch on bottom of the radiator,
ECT sensor on outgoing coolant near engine and next to thermometer,
Thermostat,
Flushed and replaced coolant at least three times now.

I have no idea why my fans won't turn on automatically and why my engine continues to overheat. My last possible hypothesis could be that I have a short in the wires somewhere. But wouldn't that keep the fans from turning on entirely?

A couple of weeks ago I had my upper radiator hose catastrophically fail, it blew open on the part attached to the engine. I had no overheating Issues before
I replaced it, and then I had overheating issues and my car shut off. I replaced it correctly.
