Toyota Camry Over heating Issues, Car over heating FIX 

Toyota 2.4 L engine 2002-2008, various models. Stripped Head Bolts will cause coolant loss/gases escape via boiling reservoir. Will show up as overheating. You need the engine head to be removed and drilled. $$ Big job $$. If you don't have $$$ right now, remove the thermostat to reduce Temperatures. You will get a CEL on your Dash. Peace.

I had this issue after replacing the coolant. I have replaced both sending units on the water neck, and the sensor under the radiator. I bled the coolant system through the radiator cap, connected to a funnel. Both fans wouldn't kick on, unless the AC was on. There were no visible leaks in the hoses. Although the scariest leak I had in the '97 camry was from the top plastic of the radiator. The problem was, the electrical for the car was very bad, and the battery was failing, causing the misreading on the dash, as if the car was near overheating. When I replaced the car battery, then the two fans were functional again, and the meter for the coolant went back to the middle. All of that bleeding the coolant system for nothing, lol.

Hey RB, it's a rarity sometimes to see mechanics help with troubleshooting. I appreciate anything input my 2003 Camry ran warm from time to time and I put my computer on and it said something about the temperature sending unit and I never really did anything about it. Anyways I was playing my guitar amp through the inverter and the 12 volt feed for my battery for about an hour and then notice of the steam coming up a little bit so decided to leave unfortunately I stop by McDonald's for my iced tea and my Dr pepper fix but the line took like 20 minutes long story short I didn't make it home. After I cool down I noticed the cap on my overflow supply container was melted it was melted and would not let fluid in or out anyways some solid stuff came out of that thing and blew all over that side of the motor compartment I don't know how to describe it it was fluid like a real thick kind of like a jelly but it was kind of gritty. I replace the thermostat the radiator cap that got blown out there's a tiny hole in the top of my radiator right underneath where the radio cap is I'm not sure if that was some kind of a filter or if it was solid plastic with just designed grooves it in it but 1/4 of it blew out I'm wondering if I can reseal that hole that's left over with what kind of putty would be possible or glue to seal that thing. Anyways when I try to start my car it hasn't started since then sounds like I have no compression there's no popping I got a new spark plugs still the same when I turn it over it sounds like there is a grit in between the Pistons and the walls I don't know but it's not starting up. Could it be blown and if it is could I change that gasket and head gasket with the engine still in the car? I mean how difficult is it. I appreciate it if you read this hole comment and I appreciate it even more if I could have something constructive to build off from your reply. Thanks buddy sincerely JB

My 05 Camry was overheating yesterday while driving. AC was not on. I pulled over and let it cool, then turned my heat on full blast (no hot air was coming out though) and managed to get home. Coolant is still full. I will check the thermostat tomorrow. Hopefully that's all it is! Thank you for the helpful video!

I see a lots of people that trouble shoot a bunch of thins but there is one thing that no one mentions, there is a hose that come in the back of the dash to warm up the heater elements, some time he get clogged, that needs to be checked if there is free water flow, that maybe the cause of some of the problems

Thanks. I think there is another thing to consider, which is air in the fluid circuit. This can happen when a thermostat is replaced and it can be another related part.

Thanks

Rb you are the man.

Thank you bro

Guys, I have a 2011 camry 4 cyl. One of the fans are not comming on, only a/c fan does when a/c on. Can a bad temp sensor cause fan not to come on? Sensor seems to be working fine, since engine does over heat when niddle is raising over the middle. Thanks for your answers 🙏

Do you recommend a fail-safe thermostat? Theyre supposed to stay open if they break.

My fan stopped working just bought some on Amazon hope it gets fixed it just hit summer

Great info, thanks.

GREAT VIDEO

Thank you for the video. So I have a 2003 Camry that overheats almost immediately. There are no coolant leaks. The water pump and timing belt were changed 3 years ago. There are no dash warning lights on. The thermostat is new. Any ideas on how I should go about this? I understand about the fans. But if it's a fan issue, wouldn't it take awhile for it to overheat? This sucker over heats within 5 blocks!

Is moving the water to tank coolnt

I have an 06 Camry XLE V6 that started overheating and it popped the upper radiator hose and shot coolant all over the enginebay. Ive noticed the fans aremt working even with the AC on (the AC is cold, still). Im at a loss

I have an 03 camry le 4 cylinder. A/c or no a/c use sometimes I see my temperature on the 4th line or just below. I know on Normal temperatures, should be right below half mark on all types of vehicles. What can cause my car to have slightly hotter Temps? It hasn't over heated, but I'm hesitant to drive the car on far drives or especially in hotter day's. Please help

Not overheating the gage is right level just is keeping the water for small tank antifrizer

What about the water pump? I have a hybrid Camry. How do I know if it’s the pump if radiator, thermostat are new?

I have a problem with overheating in a Toyota Camyr V6, I've already checked everything, changed the engine and nothing has resolved it yet!! Give me a tip, I'm lost, I'm talking about Brazil, we almost don't have any content on this car model

My hear doesnt get hot, and my passenger back floorboard is soaked, but i checked the hose under the front passenger seat, and water still isnt coming out with air on, bit air is cold and so is heat, and floorboard is soaked

Is it possible to narrow down which part it is if it runs hot when the ac is off?

I have 2005 Camry LE. Is it ok when I start the AC on the both fans start working ather wise if I off the Ac non of it works it’s ok or….suggest me

I had a new radiator put on my 96 Toyota Camry, I bought a new radiator cap, I took the thermostat out ,my car is still moving up to the hot, it will go back down slowly then move right back up. It wasn't doing this before and there is no leaks. No check engine light on, but there is water in the back floorboard of my passenger seat.

My 2003 camry LE was overheating and leaking from the radiator but I was able to make it home by waiting for it to cool in intervals. Got a new radiator and installed it but now the car chugs up like it's trying to start but the engine won't start. Any help would be appreciated, thanks.

I have a 1997 Toyota camry that is overheating. The electric fans come on when i turn on the ac switch. The fans do not turn on after that. I have changed the relays and temperature sensors. Where should I go from here? Thank you

Hi my 95 camry overheated on me while doing some low speed driving in a parking lot with the AC on(had previously been driving for about 10-15mins. Im not mechanically inclined, I pulled over shut off the car and waited like five minutes to open the radiator carfully. I heard some pressure sound upon opening it and let it sit for a few more mins. I got it off and topped off my coolant and closed it. I started up the car with heaters going full blast and it stayed in the middle the whole way home (5-8mins) when i was in my parking spot I put on the ac again to see if it would overheat but it stayed in the middle. Someone on the internet told me to check if the radiator fans spin well they were only spinning when I had the AC on. Did not see any fan going when I had no ac or heater on. Any idea's with my sitution?

Hey I have 09 Toyota Camry that’s over heating replaced radiator, ect sensor, thermostat and housing after those fixes I got 2 more codes pretaining to bad spark plugs and ignition coils
