Heater Problem
Need Help ASAP:
At Start up, the heat on my 88 Supra n/t doesnt start working until 20 min after driving. It doesnt work after letting run for 20 min before driving. I changed the water pump. my overflow bottle (radiator) stays full. I know it shouldnt, but....... I empty the overflow bottle but it keeps filling up. I checked heater core, no leaks. NOT sure what the problem is... I do smell radiator fluid while driving with window down, which is coming out of the overflow bottle. (noticed radiator fluid on bottom cover coming from overflow bottle. Please Help! |

Radiator hose collapses with throttle.
Hello! A lot of useful info here. Well, I took radiator cap off, started up and put heat on full blast. Everything was going well, then the radiator fluid started coming out of radiator quite quickly, then it stopped. I saw that the radiator was low, so I put more fluid in, then it started coming out quickly again. Then i followed the same steps, by filling up... then i put radiator cap on. when I push the throttle, the top radiator hose pinches... hmmm what could that be?????
HEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELP! |

I suspect s blockage may be to blame... blockages and bad thermostats are common culprits for problems like this. Old hoses may collapse too as there is a natural vacuum in the system. I'd start with testing/replacing the thermostat.
BTW, your first posts were both in moderated sections intended for different purposes. Please check where you're posting before you do so. This is the correct section.
