Why is my car overheating at high speeds?
It has over 290,000 miles on it (I know what you are thinking), but runs really great. 85% of the miles are interstate miles going 75 mhp with little braking or “ware and tare”. Earlier this summer as the temperature began to get into the 90’s I noticed the temperature would get up near the “hot” range on the temp gauge.
Why is my Jeep Cherokee overheating at low speeds?
Your engine may be able to stay cool at low speeds because it’s not working that hard, and therefore not creating as much heat. When you hit highway speeds, however, your engine needs a lot of coolant flowing through to keep it cool. If the thermostat doesn’t open, there isn’t enough flow to keep things cool.
Why does my Outback Sport overheat on the highway?
My 2003 Outback Sport has had an overheating problem since the weather has warmed up (2 months/ 3k miles). At highway speed (60+) after 10-15 minutes of driving the temperature will slowly creep up. I can reverse this creep by simply turning the interior temp gauge to hot, but it drops faster if I turn on the blower as well.
What to do when your car is overheating on the highway?
both cooling fans do work, but they appear to be coming on only when the coolant is extremely hot (haven’t checked coolant temp yet with the OBD II ). when the temp gauge is above half (hotter than normal) at highway speed, if I hit the clutch (droping RPM from 3500 to 800 idle), the temp gauge will dip cooler, then rebound to the previous reading.
Why is my truck overheating at highway speeds only?
I followed your recommendations and found nothing out of spec the only problems I have left is a noisy 5 speed manual that is full of fluid, a few steering components that are worn and no air conditioning I have almost completely rebuilt my truck mechanically speaking that is why I am confused about what is causing me this issue.
When does it get hot on the highway?
Thank you for your time around town it’s fine in 110 plus degree weather only on the highway around 70 ish mph for more than 15 miles is when it starts getting hot however when stuck in stop and go traffic it runs perfectly cool so I’m stumped. This says your dealing with a circulation issue.
What to do when your car overheats at high speeds?
A rag stuffed into the T-stat hole will help keep old scraped gasket materials out of the T-stat port. Just carefully pull the rag up out of the hole. A wet rag will help keep the gasket material stuck to the rag. Carefully blow out the water pump housing with low-pressure compressed air. Use the new gaskets and replace the T-stat and water pump.
Can a throw out bearing cause a car to overheat?
I’ve never come across a throw out bearing in a manual transmission being the source cause of a highway speed overheat condition and normal operational temps in stop and go traffic. Best of luck with the fix. Unless you ride the clutch pedal, the throw out bearing isn’t doing anything when you are moving.
The potential causes of a car overheating at highway speeds are a stuck thermostat, a restricted radiator, or a kinked hose. The fix could be as simple as replacing a radiator hose or your car could require a new radiator altogether depending on which problem you have and how severe that problem is.
Why does my Honda engine overheat while driving?
If that doesn’t help you may want to have the water pump checked. The impeller blades could have disintegrated after so many years. If your engine cools while driving but overheats while stationary you either have too little to no coolant in the radiator or your fans don’t work, or they are put on backwards.
What to do if your Honda Civic is overheating?
Keep the cap open and warm up the car to see if the water is flowing properly. Bubbles in the water indicate a head gasket problem. Otherwise, just seal the radiator with a new radiator cap.

What should I do if my Honda CBR XX is overheating?
Do not open hot, when you open it cold and start engine, coolant should circulate smoothly without bubbles. If bubbles apear your head gasket is dead. If your temperature gauge is showing high temp, then radiator should also be hot when you touch it. If not, then coolant isnt circulating properly.

A Honda Civic’s cooling system is a sealed system, meaning that it uses pressure to raise the boiling point of the fluid within the radiator. As the engine operates, the fluid within the radiator circulates throughout the engine.
