Ok so I have a 2006 ford freestyle 4wd top trim 200k miles when I got it the guy said "when you first start driving it it'll start to overheat just pull over and after it settles it won't do it again the rest of your drive" the car is in near mint condition except for that intermittent overheating issue but now it never normalizes I've changed the temp sender, thermostat and next the water pump I some know what's causing it its been hooked up to a few diagnostic machines there are no code it needed an oil change someone said it could be the computer but that'll be the most costly the theory. It feels like the car thinks it's overheating but isn't physically overheating but not sure. Any idea what could be fix for this?
Let me preface my father is a mechanic we've. Been doing diagnostics the radiator is in working condition and the head gasket isn't leaking.
ok, what about thermostat, coolant temp sensor, cooling fans, water pump ?
Did you watch the video which Joe linked? Did you change the radiator cap already?
It’s gotta be one of the things from the video..
These things have been tested the overheating comes and goes there are no leaks and the cap is good that what I posted its mind boggling
The radiator itself is probable shot due to corrosion. You've tried everything else.
