The P0118 code means that the engine control module (ECM) has detected a voltage signal that’s too high from the engine coolant temperature (ECT) sensor (below). In practical terms, the ECM believes ...

Although engines are different from each other, most engines share a similar concept when it comes to engine cooling. Your cooling system is designed for one thing – regulating engine temperatures ...

When I built my first serious race engine, a Honda B18C with Toda high-compression pistons and camshafts, a knife-edged crankshaft, a Supertech valvetrain, and a ported cylinder head, I threw a ...

Q: My 1999 Pontiac Sunfire coupe is doing something something I can't easily explain. The car has 240,000 km on it and it has the stock engine, although I think I bought it with a K filter charger.

So your car’s temperature gauge is acting up, or not working at all, and you want to fix it? Good for you. Your car’s engine temperature is vital to its operation, and a properly-operating gauge is a ...

Along with power, internal combustion engines make heat. They actually create so much heat that if it isn’t adequately channeled away, it can potentially damage an engine beyond repair. To solve the ...

While new vehicles may have a “lifetime” coolant, there are some exceptions.

If your engine is showing signs of overheating, it might have developed hot spots. Here's how to identify and prevent them so ...

In most automobiles, heat is inevitable. That's because an internal combustion engine (ICE) powers most vehicles. In an ICE, fuel burns to create power, and the process releases heat. A lot of heat.

One of the oldest Mustang gripes we can think of is engine overheating. We can write this problem off as one of the penalties of old car ownership, but classic Mustangs were cursed with overheating ...

The radiator is a key component of the cooling system whose main responsibility is to cool the mixture of antifreeze and water that circulates throughout the engine. Related: What Is Coolant and Is It ...
