Ok i have a 2002 Sebring LXi with the 2.7 DOHC V-6 and im having some problems. Its overheating and its not blowing heat. I changed the thermostat and that didnt fix anything, and the fans do come on. Any suggestions?

yeah, either you are low on coolant, or one of the lines is blocked. Bring the car up to operating temperature and feels the lines too see which ones are cold. Then go from there to find the blockage.

what could block it? One thing i do know is the hose that goes into the top of the motor gets really pressurized and starts leaking, like its not letting coolant into the motor.

Heater core?






And now for something completely different... Click the Minister.

sounds like a belt... my kia had the same things and we checked it out and the belt had ripped in such a way that it was drape over top the pullies but not spinning

a friend of mine bought a used 87 cougar for a beater and it was doing the same thing. turns out someone had took the heater core out completely.lol guess he didnt check the car over well before he bought it. but whatever it is good luck

Had the same problem in my Cav and it turned out to be the Heater core.

We have been having alot of issues with the 2.7L engines at Chrysler. Do you have a CEL? What is your coolant level at and is it boiling over when the car overheats? The 2.7L have been having alot of headgasket issues. Most of it is due to sludging in the engine.
