I got a big fucking problem! My car doesn't stop overheating! It just started happening 2 days ago, I checked and the coolant was all done! So I filled her up, and it still didn't change a thing!

I've tried almost about everything, and I've spent all my money I was saving for future mods on this shit, and it's pissed me off A LOT! i need help!

The guys at the garage told me first that it was the coolant, so they changed it. No Result
Then they said it could be the the radiator. So they changed that too. Still no Result
Then they said it has to be the head gasket. So I went and bought that, and they changed it as well. Of course, no results!
He also checked out all the sensors and spark plugs!! But the stupid car is still over-heating ... and now there saying it might be the engine!!!

Help me please somebody if you've ever been through this before! Please don't tell me it's the engine!!

^^ We did those two as well ... the same time when we changed the radiator....and it still over-heats after i run it for like 20 mins

Do you guys have any other idea's what it might be? or is it looking more and more like the Engine's about to go? I mean the engine only has 270,000 KM on it....for a Camry that's not much

Let me know what you come up with. I'm having the same problem. 255K miles. Over heats. Exhaust blowing into the cooling system. Heads are being checked now. How much did you pay for the head gasket replacement? The gaskets looked good when I took off the heads. I have no idea where the leak is. May be the block. Then I'm in trouble.

^^ Ya that fan's still work...and I've done a search and I still can't seem to find anything. I think it is probably the engine....

Did you replace the water pump?

Look what I found when I took off my water pump........I hear it's from the pump cavitating cause of air in the system. Does it have anything to do with the over heating?? You got me.....
