Engine is overheating help!

There are a number of possible causes, but rather than guess, please follow these direction to isolate the sound.

Leave the car running in idle, do you still hear the clank?
Move around the car from driver side to passenger side and see if you can narrow the location of the sound.

Nothing on this engine moves except on the front of the engine (front of engine is on the passenger side.) Here you have (standard) cranck shaft pulley, camshaft pulley, alternator pulley, power steering pump pulley and the air conditioning pump pulley. There is also 1 idler and one tensioner. The belt that connects them all is a serpentine belt.
This is the only location for EXTERNAL movement. Everything else is internal.

The variation on causes are too numerous to list here. So, try and identify more closely where the sound is coming from and reply with more information.

Good luck.

I'd return it back to the shop that did the work and explain the original problem is still present. Maybe it will be as simple as a defective t-stat, or as bad as a cracked cylinder head. I missed the engine size, some are prone to problems.

What code did the pcm give out in regards to the light? Cool air from the heater indicates either no water or not enough water, or the thermostat is not working properly. The gurgling could be the water moving around, if it's not full, you could hear it after the car is shut down. Remember, overheating is probably the worst thing that can happen to your engine, short of no lubrication. It can create all kinds of headaches.

Most likely, your radiator is plugged up. There is more than one reason to use the recommended coolant mixture, and the corrosion resistance is an implrtant one.

It's sounds like your water pump. They have a small weep hole that coolant leaks from when they go bad. Locate the pump and get underneath the car and look carefully for the weep hole. If it's leaking from there, replace the pump.

Hello and thanks for donating

Follow the steps below and let me know if you need further assistance with this repair.

Fuel line disconnect tool set T90T-9550-S or equivalent is required to perform this procedure.

1. Disconnect the battery cables, negative cable first.
2. Remove the battery and the battery tray.
3. Unclip the constant control relay module and position it aside.
4. Remove the radiator cap.
5. Raise the vehicle and support it with jackstands.
6. Remove the radiator splash shields.
7. Drain the cooling system into a suitable container.
8. Remove the radiator mounting bracket assembly.
9. Disconnect the lower and upper radiator hoses and the overflow hose from the radiator.
10. Remove the A/C condenser retaining bolts.
11. Remove the transaxle cooler line clips.
12. Using a 3 / 8 inch fuel line disconnect tool T90T-9550-S or its equivalent, disconnect the transaxle oil cooler tubes from the radiator.
13. Remove the transaxle oil cooler line bracket and position the oil cooler aside.
14. Remove the A/C condenser bracket and position the A/C condenser core aside.
15. Remove the retaining bolts and radiator support bracket.
16. Remove the radiator.

To install:

17. Place the radiator in position.
18. Install the radiator support bracket and the retaining nuts. Tighten the nuts to 71-106 inch lbs. (8-12 Nm).
19. Place the A/C condenser core into position, install the condenser bracket and the retaining bolts. Tighten the bolts to 45-61 inch lbs. (5-7 Nm).
20. Place the transaxle oil cooler in position and install the oil cooler tube bracket. Tighten the retainers to 45-61 inch lbs. (5-7 Nm).
21. Install the transaxle cooler line tubes and the cooler line clips.
22. Place the A/C condenser retaining bracket and install the retainers. Tighten the retainers to 45-61 inch lbs. (5-7 Nm).
23. Attach the radiator overflow hose and the radiator hoses to the radiator. Tighten the hose clamps securely.
24. Install the radiator mounting bracket and its retainers. Tighten the retainers to 81-106 inch lbs. (8-12 Nm).
25. Install the radiator splash shields and lower the vehicle.
26. Place the constant control relay module in position and install the retaining clip.
27. Install the battery tray and battery.
28. Connect the battery cables, negative cable last.
29. Fill and bleed the cooling system.
30. Start the engine and check for coolant and transmission fluid leaks.

Check coolant level
check thermostat operation
check headgasket

Water pump leaking or radiator can you see fluid leaking?

It coming from the engien block? Radiator? Hose?

Heater core need to be flushed
system have to be isolate and flushed

Sounds to me like it may be a stuck thermostat. Replace it and let me know. Not a expensiv or hard job to do
