my car stalled after overheating
|-|ercules
in the McDonald's drive through and there's steam coming out the bonnet! There
was only one car in front so I went through the drive through steam and all and
parked in McDonalds, waited a couple hours until the temp was right down. I
had some water bottles and filled them at the servo across the road, filled the
radiator and coolant tank and was fine.
Then 2 weeks later, yesterday I'm driving along and there's a hot oil smell and see
the temp gage is at max again. I don't know why they don't have a buzzer when
they are 80% high, but anyway I go through a red light into the Woolworths car
park and wait until the temp is down to half and fill the radiator with water. There
was no steam that time but after a minute of filling the radiator some steam comes
out, but when I totally fill it it stops. This time I bought some coolant, so I drive for
5kms, then I park the car and let it idle for 15 minutes to keep the aircon going, drive
again and park and when I go to take off the revs drop when I put it in reverse and it stalls
and won't start. I should mention (to give you the WHOLE story!) it stalled just as
I pulled into the Woolworths carpark too. So after half hour it still won't start so
I walk around for a bit and come back an hour later and it works fine.
So if I damaged the engine, why would it drive ok for 20 minutes and then not start?
Plus it seems to run fine again.
What would you do, sell it while it still runs and 1 months rego left, or get a service?

I'd get rid of it. If you overheated it to the extent that it stalled
and wouldn't start, you would have surely warped the head and probably
caused heaps of other problems. Cars are pretty cheap at this time of
the year (end of financial year sales etc)

Why didn't you go into maccas and ask for 6 large ice waters that would
have cooled the radiator down
During that couple of hours did anyone ask what the fuck you were doing?

it overheats,..I'd suggest 2 things> 1. monitor your coolant water and top
up as needed on a daily basis, and 2, try and find where the coolant is
going. If it is the head or head-gasket, you should see water vapour
condensing on the palm of your hand. Pull each plug out in turn, get someone
to crank the engine while you face the palm of your hand at the empty
plug-hole..preferably with the ignition disabled so it wont start.
Also check for combustion gases in the radiator top-tank.

The reason it overheated is I was using water for coolant. I worked as a bowser boy since I was 14
and I've filled more radiators with WATER than grandma's bought tampons, coolant my ass..
So I guess radiators are smaller now hence the need for coolant?

IMHo coolant does a few things - badly.
It somehow lubes the water pump - duh, it actually 'might' do so for the
seals.
Lowers the Freezing point of the cooling system contents a few degrees.
Raises the Boiling point of the cooling system contents a few degrees.
(Though probably less change in both cases cf Rust and Scale as seen in
engines in days of yore.)
And most of all, 'coolant' is supposed to control the Ph of the mix to
something approaching optimum for the aluminium used in the engine

Most intelligent suggestion I've come across on usenet! Someone gets it!
Actually Lordy told me to sell. Very cryptic though....
the other day I did this AMAZING car park out the front of Night Owl, it was a single spot
and I went forward in close to the curb and pulled it straight just before the car in front,
I was totally amazed how good at parking the car it was.
Then I kept having these near misses parking my car and pulling out of car parks, maybe a
clue that the car was about to have a minor mishap, not that I "got it" in time.
Then I disproved a major mathematical theory accepted by millions. Which reminded me
of a comment about Godel's proof years ago which I also disproved, it doesn't actually detract from
mathematics it's just a "dent in the fender" of mathematics.
Then I parked at the phone booth outside an old apartment I stayed at where I scraped the Fiesta
reversing out because my garage number was not accessible from the front.
So I was working out Car Park Scrape has the same mnemonic as Complete Permutation Set
which is how I disproved Cantor's proof. Then I channeled what would have happened if
I broke down and the answer was "just leave". Then I watched Simpsons last night and there
were 2 Ms for Moe's new club as spotlights in the clouds, obviously "2 meanings!"
So the second meaning appears to be to sell the car... It was a strange set of channeling about
money, aging, the proof, the car, but I think I worked it all out. Homer pushed his hand through
the juke box and his hand was bloody, that was ANOTHER "fender bender" I did the same thing
trying to push my Town Ace up hill putting my hand through the headlight years ago. As a
Logan's Run fan this was startling, as I just told my Russian Bride I was approaching 40, in the
movie they get executed at 30. My 31st birthday was my first night in prison, the start of the
"fiery carousel" of rebirth. 8 1/2 years ago now...
And last night I was channeling about the 5' 11" shop assistant who likes me, and then
Michael Douglass said on tv "She's a peach!".

Actually,.as long as the car isnt running a t/stat over 95c (5 degree
headroom)you can run the car if it an old model, without pressure. It doesnt
work with E-W flow radiators (Falcons), but works well with N-S
radiators. No pressure,..no busted hoses, less leaking head-gaskets. As
to boiling point,..I was under the impression that Glycol increased the
boiling point,..which is what Toby was on about.

Not always true, but for oil or lack of it yes thats pretty accurate.
I (in my earlier uncareing days) flogged (From a standstill to rev limit for around 40seconds and
hard braked to a stop) a brand new GTS Holden and knocked it into neutral at the end of a off ramp.
It stalled and wouldnt turn over for two light set changes. Finally wound over after cooling
slightly, drove it with care to the dealer and left it there.....idleing. The sales bloke jumped in
and floored it down the road......... his problem now.
..... Now before anyone jumps down my throat for flogging a new car I was stupid, it was a new car
still owned by the dealer (it had 22Kms on it when I hopped in). I sure as hell wouldnt do it again
and I would absolute spit chips if someone did it to a car I was about to buy.

In fact they almost never stay seized unless there's water in the
cylinders! :)
How many engines have you pulled down that had serious score marks on
the pistons from an earlier seizure, and were still running?
I've even seen a few where the rings were stuck in their grooves
because the lands were scored over, but were still running when they
got to me.
Besides which, a lot of diesels are wired so the fuel cuts off as soon
as oil pressure is lost (2H Toyotas had a habit of cutting out when
the going got really rough and steep, even when the oil was above the
add mark).

It must have had a threaded oil filler cap. A "push in" one would have been
stuck to the underside of the bonnet :)

Some cars as well.
Fiats if I remember correctly have an oil pressure cut out wired into the
ignition system. Jaguars most definitely should have one :)

Maybe not literally seized, but you would know you have a serious engine
problem if you run it out of oil to the point where it seizes and it
recovers to run again.
I don't think you would have to be asking what the problem was if you did
that to an engine.

Yeah yeah, but for those that do it's pretty obvious that there is some

I'm overtired etc, but I seem to recall reading that in the right ratio
(and running 'straight' coolant is just as bad as plain water in thie
respect) there's actually an increased heat transfer
rate/capability/effiiciency too. So on a borderline cooling system, I
reckn it would be a big deal. Off the top of my head, I've seen some
alfas (I think 33ti or something like that, a mate had more than one,
and I'm not going to google to find specific model designation) -
anyway, the radiator was about the same size as the heater core on any
other car I'd seen with a similar sized engine. And even with the
raduiator cap being 1-2psi 'wrong' it'd run hot like a bastard. If it
dropped any water, it was in the red and had to pull over, wait, then
replenish etc.

Unless your car is old enough to have a cast iron block & ditto cylinder
head, then it should have the recommended % of coolant in the system, not
just water. Otherwise you get electrolysis happening much faster between

I've not tried it but apparently it's very sweet tasting hence the
propensity for killing stuff - they 'want' to drink it.
Of trivial interest I've read on a medical based forum (the thread was
somewhat of an internet meme at one stage) on a thread about 'weirdest
emergency room admissions' - well apart from the 'really' crazy ones,
were blokes who had variously come in having attempted suicide by
drinking coolant, but strangely, esp given the amount and time lapse
since they drank it, were presenting zero symptoms. In each of the
cases, they had drank a shitload of alcohol to both work up the courage
and alleviate any possible pain of the method of suicide. Turns out
ethanol, in considerable dosages is the 'anti-dote' - i.e. it is a
competitive antagonist or something - it will bind to the receptor or
chemical that ethylene glycol otherwise would, and prevents it from thus
doing harm..

Search google groups for 'induction schema' and Herc is the first result!
Sylvia prodded me for a few days into actually making a proof. Applying the schema to finite prefixes
of computable reals is my work, which should establish the downfall of multiple or transfinite infinities.

Water alone actually cools better than Glycol mix. So called coolant raises the
boiling point, often called anti-freeze anti-boil.. wonder why doh. I just use
an inhibitor to reduce electrolysis in this part of Qld that rarely if ever
reaches freezing temperatures.
Glycol coolant is dangerous shit to be spilling on the road especially for 2
wheeled transport. Any vehicle pissing out coolant should be regarded as
defective and ordered off the road.

2 wheeled vehicles should be banned anyway. If they can't ride to the
conditions (including spills on the road) then they deserve to die.

I am certain going from cold engine to mid way on the temp gauge took twice as long
with coolant in the reservoir. I know it's temperature coefficient is not (much) better than water
but it works somehow!
The only explanation is the one time I tested coolant I was constantly checking the gauge and it
*seemed* to take longer... have to test it again.

Trust me herc, coolant does nothing whatsoever to the boiling point of
the water. It's the pressure of the system (via the radiator cap)
that increases the boiling point. Coolant is simply a rust and
corrosion inhibitor (and in some cases, also an anti-freeze). Don't
listen to these morons on aus.cars. They haven't a clue what they are
talking about.
|-|ercules
Nulon Radiator Stop Leak (R50) stops leaks fast in radiators, heater cores and welch plugs.
Nulon R50 is compatible with all coolant types. R50 contains tiny particles of aluminium,
brass and cellulose fibre. These particles block up cracks and leaks and set hard - like a ceramic seal.
Is this in KMart? I have to waltz through a shopping mall and into KMart itself to find out,
as The Truman it's a last resort only, 200 verbal attacks in 10 minutes is not fun.

Bullshit!
Tell me , what happens when you mix something that boils at 180 deg
with water that boils at 100deg.
Guess what..the boiling point of the water rises....

Pull the other one dipstick. Trust me, you must have one.
Most anti-freeze, anti-boil products (Castrol, Caltex, Penrite
etc) DO raise the boiling point of the fluid as well as
lowering it's freezing temp. Oh, and most are Glycol based.
Do you Google or do you just flap your gums a lot?

KMart didn't have it. They had stuff all, just the usual car products and fuel additives, couple others.
They didn't even have Plus Size mens clothes, only XXL, I've spent half of winter in shorts and tshirts.
As predicted I got abused by half a dozen dweebs in the carpark, including kids being brainwashed
into saying they like being molested! The Truman Company molests little kids in front of me every
opportunity, gets them to squeal vile sexual comments at me, they molest kindergarten girls until
they squeal at me about being raped and sh1t like that!
Then about 50 assh0les in KMart and the shopping center abused me, one bitch in KMart was going
on how horrible I make her feel. She's 'known' me for 3 seconds and already formed her opinion from
thought implants from USA government breaking the law 1,000,000 times over because they can
get away with it. Brainwash entire cities into abusing me and nobody goes public. On and on for 8 years!
You think I'm imagining it. All you had to do was post NO KMART DOES NOT HAVE STOP RADIATOR LEAK
and I could have gone a day without mass abuse to my face. Truman Company anonymous coward abuse
and stupid neighbours only. How many decades of sonic torture must I endure until one person takes
me seriously just enough to check the proof on sight.

That's simple Herc. My mind is immeasurably superior to Noddy's, so
it would be grossly unfair for me to argue with this midget. (some
would even go so far as to suggest that to do so would be bordering on
bullying - and there's no place for that on usenet - as we all know).
