    hi, tanung ko lng panu kung anu talaga naging problem sa oto ko .....last wed tinirik po ako sa edsa, sabi ng mechanic na tumingin eh fuse at relay sa fuel pump so pinalitan lng yung fuse...nung thurs dinala ko po sa auto shop (shell almanza las pnas)para check yng relay na problem...sabi po eh yng fuel pump at inde yng relay ...so pinalitan yng fuel pump...tapos incidental din naman na nagkaroon ng problem yng water pump- maugong yung bearing kaya pinalitan din. Nagpa-change oil na din ako at tune up para cgurado..... naging ok naman po yng car. Pero nung friday night, tinirik po ulet ako.pagtaas ko ng hood, kita ko po eh parang bukas yng rad cap at bumulwak yng tubig sa makina. Di naman po tumaas yng temp gauge kaya di ko napansin na nag-overheat. Nung dinala ko ulet sa shell eh sabi ng mekaniko na di overheat and cause kunde nabasa yng distributor at huminto yng engine. Buo naman mga rad fan, fuse, at check nya ulet yng water pump.
    Tanung ko lang po na di po pa talaga tataas yng temp gauge pag bumulwak tubig at mawalan ng tubig rad? yn kya talaga cause ng pagtirik nabasa yng distributor? tapos napansin ko din nung fri night na di umilaw yng oil sa panel nung tinirik ako.... pagkasusi ko eh check engine, battery lang ang umilaw.....anu din po kaya cause nun? HELP please. TIA

    most common cause pag no spark yung distributor mo

    lalo na kung pumuputok yung fuse para sa engine

    main problem diyan yung condenser inside the distributor shorted

    Change the radiator cap and thermostat.

    since bumulwak yung oto mo, mukhang paldo na yung radiator cap mo. nagkataong natapon ang tubig and tinamaan yung electricals.

    to answer your question, i think kung maluwag ang rad cap mo, mas lalo ka pang magiinit, kasi pressure is lost inside the cooling system, and if pressure is lost, hindi maximized ang heat movement, and it stays inside the engine.

    pa check mo na din thermostat mo. to give you an idea how the radiator cap works, see article below:

    from http://www.musclecarclub.com/library/tech/cooling.shtml

    The radiator cap acts as more than just a "lid" for your radiator; it keeps your engine cool by sealing and pressurizing the coolant inside it.

    What makes the radiator cap special is that it is designed to hold the coolant in your radiator under a predetermined amount of pressure. If the coolant was not kept under pressure, it would start to boil, and soon you would have boiled all of your coolant away.

    However, the radiator (or pressure) cap prevents this from happening by exerting enough pressure to keep the coolant from boiling. Normally, water (coolant) boils at 212 degrees F, but if the pressure is increased, the boiling temperature is also increased. Since the boiling point goes up when the pressure goes up, the coolant can be safely heated to a temperature above 212 degrees F without boiling.

    What makes this important is that the higher the temperature of the coolant is, the greater the temperature gap between it and the air temperature is. This is the principle that causes the cooling system to work; the hotter the coolant is, the faster the heat in it moves to the radiator and the air passing by. So, a cooling system under pressure takes heat away from the engine faster, which makes it more efficient.

    If your cooling system is under too much pressure, it can "blow its top!" To prevent this, the radiator cap has a pressure relief valve. The valve has a preset rating that allows it to take just up to a certain amount of pressure. When you turn the cap on the filler neck of the radiator, you seal the upper and lower sealing surfaces of the filler neck. The pressure relief valve spring is compressed against the lower seal when you lock the cap.

    The radiator filler neck has an overflow tube right between the two sealing surfaces. If the pressure in the cooling system exceeds the preset rating of your cap, its pressure relief valve allows the lower seal to be lifted from its seat. Then the excess pressure (coolant,air) can squish through the overflow tube to the ground or the coolant reservoir.

    Once enough pressure has been released (the caps preset rating), the pressure relief valve is again closed by the spring.

    The pressure cap can be tested with a cooling system pressure tester, using an adapter, to make certain that it is living up to its pressure rating. It should be replaced if it fails the test.
