Ford 6 Cylinder
1998 6 cylinder ford mustang overheating?
I had a split in the heater hose and I spliced in a repair, which I thought would correct my overheating problem, but the car still overheats shortly after starting it and driving it for a mile or so. What could the problem be?

- replace the hose, don't repair it, they arent that expensive... and check/replace the thermostat...
- 1 check fluid level and 50/50 coolant. 2 change thermostate 3 check fan and hoses [hoses can flatten out at high temp] 4 replace water pump [they do wear out]
- Build up in your radiator? My van overheats also which is due to the fact that the radiator is full of "crap" and actually needs replacing, flushing it didn't work very well. Where have you been?
- head gasket ,,observe your coolant if you have bubbles coming out on the radiator neck,, if bubbles coming out ,,your gasket is dead
- if you got it hot,you will probably have to put head gaskets in it
