ok so i have a 00 neon and well i dont know what excatly happend to it, but i wasnt driving it. so no about 4 months later i need a car again and im trying to fix it. soo its overheating baddd. i have changed the thermostat, thermostat housing, flushed the radiator, and checked the water pump. non of these have fixed the problem of it overheating. i doubt its the head gasket becuase there is no fluid in the oil. soo any ideas?????

 

A clogged system?

 

naw when i had the radiator flushed they did the whole cooling system as well

 

possibility of the heater core?

I hope it isn't, for your sake, but I went thru it.

Overheating... went thru 2 radiators, 2 thermostats..water pump and timing belt, then found out I needed a new heater core

Is a giant PITA to replace yourself and a BIG expense if someone does it for you.
whole dash and steering column have to come out to get to it

 

hmm well fml....i might just sell the piece. lol

 

It is a big possibility it could be your head gasket. Just because theres no fluid in the oil dosent mean anything.

 

Can't you bypass the heater core?

 

Yes, you just won't have a heater.

 

I'm saying to see if it's the cause of the problem.

 

Oh, got ya.
