Anyone with a mustang come in.

Ok, can anyone with a mustang thats has a cold engine check this for me. On the coolant overflow tank where you screw on the cap... can you check if theres a little square hole on the black plastic part. Heres a picture to explain this better:

Right where the arrow is, but on the mustang overflow tank. Is a hole right there nearest to the engine side.

Thanks. I believe the coolant tank on the 95's are different compared the 4.6.

There isnt one on my 95 but i dunno if there would be one on the 96-98 maybe someone else will pop in. i dont think that there would a hole there

Alright, thanks buddy for checking O0

Damn, this sucks. Im 1 hour late for work on superbowl day :'( the boss is going to think im trying to pull one over so i can stay home from work to watch the game.

Yes. I just went out and looked there is a square hole that looks like its where the coolant goes out when you have too much pressure.

Thanks.

Damn, now the problem is. What causes to much pressure?

 

[bleau]

Not sure never had this problem. If it were me I would pull the thermostat and see if that makes it better.

 

[MeanGrn Gt]

so coolant is puking out of this hole in the overflow or do you just think thats the problem?

u havent replaced the radiator cap with the wrong one have you? is it overheating?

maybe you have air in the system

head gasket will do that too. compression blowing it out

yeah but with a blow head gasket, tere would be white smoke puffing out of his exhaust.

maybe time for a waterpump. is the coolant boiling and or building pressure in the overflow. i just know my buddy had an old 93 ford f150 that, the coolant in the overflow would start boiling and bubbling. i took it apart for him and his waterpump didnt have any fins on it what so ever. there were little pieces of them in the block.......... changed it out for a new one and he was good to go..

Only time it was bubbling was when i drove it home the night everything went wrong. IT was popping and bubbling like a bitch ,but that was when i put 3 big bottles of water in it. Right now it doesn't boil because i turn the car off before it gets to hot and theres no white smoke coming from the exhaust pipes.

Tomorrow im going to get a new radiator cap and a new thermostat.


Thanks guys and rofl i took your pic.. srry :behind:

well, hopefully that is all you need, but dont be surprised if you need a new waterpump

^ most of the time ,yes. and it would be steam that wil evaporate quick. smoke would linger. but thats not always the case. ive seen it happen
