Hopefully, this guide to why your Previa may be overheating when idle helped you fix your vehicle. If there is anything that you would like to add that could help the next person with theirs, your comment below is most welcome. One sends the hot coolant back from the engine to the radiator to be cooled. And the other one sends the coolant back to the water pump to cool the engine. These hoses can crack with age. Take a look at them and see if they have been leaking.
Radiator Leak — Take a look at the radiator itself. Determining if there is a leak is going to depend a lot on whether or not you can easily see the radiator. Water Pump — There are gaskets between the water pump and the engine block. This is often a hard one to see, because all of the accessories alternator, power steering, serpentine belt are going to obstruct your view.
Here are the signs of a bad water pump in the Toyota Previa. That can be an indication of a bad serpentine belt. When your water pump does go bad, it will often leak water. This is due to the bearings inside of it going bad. A good trick to tell if the water pump may be bad is to put it into neutral and rev the engine up a few thousand RPM for a few seconds.
If the temperature went down, that can indicate a bad water pump. A dying pump may get spinning enough to move the coolant with the increase in RPM.
We hope this helps you find out why. If there is anything that you would like to add, please leave a comment below. Good luck! If any part of this system fails, your Previa will eventually overheat. Well Done Intermotor! I'm going to modify the bottom drain on the radiator so that it'll accept an M14 x 1. I'm also going to rip off the water-pump and check to see if it still has any vanes I'm also suspicious that the car may be running lean on LPG It'll cost me money to check this out, but so will a new engine If nothing else shows up, I'll get the LPG mixture checked There is a Landi-Renzo dealer in Glasgow, but They charge main agent prices, so I use a trusted installed instead.
Most Installers can read diagnostics from more than one LPG system It can't hurt to ask about The throttle-body tip is straight out of the USA version haynes manual They say to repeat about every 60, miles or sooner if lots of short, cold trips Who are we to argue?
With regard to preferred LPG fits for Previa I've had good reports of the OMVL millenium system Who knows which is the better solution? Check the rad and see if it has core has copper pipes if so the copper corrodes and blocks the internal flow of the coolant, which in turn overheats the vehicle another problem it could be combustion gasses leaking into the system head gasket failure you are putting yourself in for a lot of expense in my opinion you are not fully examining the problem.
The vehicle originally was designed to keep itself cool without the mod. The thermostat had the centre removed, your problem has to be circulation problems maybe due to a blocked rad, water pump impeller worn or the head gasket. I am trying to figure out how to remove my water pump from my 91 preiva LE. I can't get it past the Oil filter pump Value my car with , miles to buy or sell?
