What causes my van to overheat?
It was overheating, so I bought and had replaced a new thermostat, also a new water pump. The motor isn't feeling hot, but yet the meter on the dash is showing it's hot.

Is it actaully overheating/boilng over or just the gauge is telling you its hot-check and test the coolant temperature sensor-start here

No it is not boiling over. It is just the gauge. I've replaced the thermostat, and water pump. What can I do?

Use a digital volt/ohmmeter-Why don't you just bring her in

I don't have the extra cash to spend. I'm a low income ****** of 2, trying to make it. I bought the Coolant/Temperature sensor today to put on it, so maybe this will fix it! :)

Did you replace the CTS -if it continues have it block and pressure tested-Could be the temperature gauge is out of calibration
