Why is a 96 ford contour running hot only while driving no heat from heater no leaks what can the problem be?In: American Cars |
[Edit] |
Answer I doubt that the water pump is the problem ------sounds like the coolant is low or there is a lot of air traped in the system
Sounds like your water pump is gone. Water pumps the water thru the heater which you said it is not getting hot and the engine is overheating because the water pump is NOT pumpin ghte water around thru the heater thru the engine and thru the radiator. It doesn't have to leak to tell you it is bad. The impellor on the back of the pump may be frozen, did you see if the pulley is frozen on the pump? Is your belt tight?
All the answers are good, I will just add it could be your themostat.
