Replying to: kframe (Dec 17, 2007 5:37 pm) That's where it is alright. I haven't a clue how I'd get it out as there is almost no roo,. It looks like the glove box has to come out. In any case, I found out it is the intake gasket causing the problem, so I'm changing that this weekend. Thanks for the response! Dave
#366 of 431 overheating by berkiespop Jan 02, 2008 (7:24 pm)
My 99 century is overheating and I have changed the water pump and thermostat and bled the system and it is not leaking water (visibly) but it still overheats. I took it to a radiator shop and spent $158 on sensors and testing fan circuits and all is ok, but it is still overheating. Can anyone help me before "I" overheat?!

Replying to: berkiespop (Jan 02, 2008 7:24 pm) To berkiespop: Yes I have had a similar problem on a Lumina which caused a leaking head gasket! When replaced I found blocked water jackets around some cylinders. What was it blocked with you might ask? That famous Leak stopper crap that they sell. I had used this stuff to stop a leak, and it stopped it all right, along with blocking essential water passages! If you used this stuff I would think that you have the same problem. Try to flush out the system using Prestone radiator flush. Several times if needed. Also Back flushing is the best way to do this. I cant believe that a radiator shop didnt do this for you. I hope that is your problem, and that you get it cleaned out alright. Replies to this message: berkiespop (Jan 03, 2008 1:27 pm)

Replying to: berkiespop (Jan 03, 2008 1:28 pm) Okay, is this a fast overheat (within 10-15 minutes) or a gradual overheat?   Will it overheat in traffic but be okay on the freeway, or will it overheat regardless of how/where you drive it?   Has anyone checked for combustion gases in the coolant?

#373 of 431 Re: 2000 Buick Century Code P0401 [edbeard] by buy1 Jan 16, 2008 (10:49 am)
Replying to: edbeard (Jul 08, 2007 11:11 am) Just wondering if you ever found the cure for P401. I have changed the EGR, The Pipe to the Exhaust, The Map sensor, and a couple of other sensors that I am not sure what they are called. Help Please.
