Does blown head gasket make noise?
If the head gasket fails in such a way it allows the compressed air/fuel to escape, the compression of that cylinder is reduced. This loss of compression results in a rough running engine and a notable reduction in engine power. This sort of failure typically is accompanied by a sound like an exhaust leak.
What should I do if my Camaro engine is overheating?
With the engine cold, open the radiator cap and peer inside. If there is any room for more fluid in the radiator, fill it to the top with 50/50 premixed coolant of whatever type of coolant is in your vehicle (Dex-Cool or “the green stuff”). With the cap off, start the engine and let it heat up until the thermostat opens.
Why are the cooling fans not coming on in my Camaro?
When the car is in motion, there is enough air flow over the radiator for it to cool. There are two main reasons cooling fans aren’t coming on: Dead Fans: If you suspect the fans are not running because they are burnt out, you can test them directly by pulling the main fan leads and applying power directly to the fans.
Why did my water pump go bad on my Camaro?
Using straight water or tap water with your antifreeze can cause sediment in your system which can also clog things up. In extreme cases, the water pump can go bad, not allowing coolant to flow.
What should the water temp be in a Camaro Firebird?
The resistance should be ~1,365 ohms at 100°F Figure 1. Water temp gauge. The coolant level may be low. With the engine cold, open the radiator cap and peer inside. If there is any room for more fluid in the radiator, fill it to the top with 50/50 premixed coolant of whatever type of coolant is in your vehicle (Dex-Cool or “the green stuff”).
