Diagnosing intermittent temperature related engine problems, can be a challenge, especially if they affect driveability. Problems that come and go or only occur under certain driving or operating conditions, can be very difficult to troubleshoot. […]
When was the last time you checked to see, if you had a bad radiator cap ? The radiator cap is a very important part of the engine’s cooling system. But, it is often overlooked, […]

Your engine cooling fan, only runs when needed, to help cool the engine. So, a engine cooling fan, relay or control circuit failure is bad news. Because, it can allow the engine to overheat. But, […]
The engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensors function, is to monitor the temperature, of the engine’s coolant. So, most engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensors operate, using electrical resistance to measure, the temperature of the coolant. The […]
Today the radiator cap, is more important than ever before. However, it is often missed, as being a cause of engine overheating. So, a radiator cap looks simple, but is critical, for a properly operating […]
Your radiator, helps your engine, operate within a “normal” temperature range, of about 195 to 220 degrees F. However, as effective as today’s engines are, they still waste a lot of the heat energy they […]
The engine coolant temperature sensor, is one of the most important, engine management sensors in your vehicle. So, a sensor that is shorted or reading out of range, can’t provide a reliable signal. Consequently, engine […]
So, diagnosing a water pump noise, can be tricky. Quite often, your water pump, is buried deep in the engine, making it difficult to access. Also, your water pump, is usually attached, to a number […]
So, how do (MAP) controlled thermostats, actually work. And, what benefits do they provide. Firstly, (MAP) controlled thermostats are controlled by, the engine’s electronic control unit (ECU). Consequently, this provides precise regulation of engines temperature, […]
So, having car thermostat issues, can cause your engine coolant temperature, to change erratically. Sometimes, car thermostat issues, can prohibit engine coolant, from flowing normally. When required, the thermostat regulates the exact flow of engine […]
A coolant recovery tank, is a tank designed to collect hot coolant from the radiator, as the coolant expands. However, as the engine cools down, the coolant in the radiator contracts, creating a vacuum in […]
