6th gen running hot
Ive got a 2001 monte. A few months back it started running hotter than usual. It doesnt overheat but my temp guage will go up between 1/2 and 3/4, it used to stay be8tween 1/4 and 3/4. As soon the temp goes past 1/2 the transmission begins shifting rough and i can smell coolant. But its not leaking.
It does this more when im at a red light or sitting with the car idling. This made me think my fans werent working. But they work fine. Thermostat and temperature sensor were changed less than a year ago. Just did coolant flush last week. Im stumped |
What engine is in your car? Have you opened the radiator to ensure the radiator is full of coolant? When is the last time the cooling system has been flushed?
|
Its the 3.4L i just flushed the coolant system about a week and a half ago. And bled the system. Radiator is full.
|
A full radiator is a good sign, coolant is not leaving the system.
Did this condition start before you flushed the system? If it started after, was it right after or a few days? I know sometimes despite the best efforts in bleeding the air, there could still be some in the system and that can account for odd behavior. |
I agree with The Maniac. I had an Impala with that motor one time and it did the same thing. It only needed a burp;) Try to make sure there is no air in the system. Good luck.

Ya. It started doing this before I flushed the radiator. I did try to burp it a few times again and theres no air. There does seem to be too much pressure though. Almost like the thermostat is bad already.
