Your engine produces an enormous amount of heat every time it runs. Without a system in place to regulate temperature, the engine would overheat within minutes, leading to severe internal damage. The cooling system’s job is to circulate coolant, absorb excess heat, and release it through the radiator. When this system begins to fail, it doesn’t just risk overheating—it also starts to affect how well your engine performs. How Cooling Issues Impact Performance When coolant circulation slows down or the temperature runs too high, the combustion process inside the engine becomes less efficient. You may notice reduced power, sluggish acceleration, or rough idling. Overheating can also cause the engine’s computer to enter a “limp mode” to protect itself, limiting performance and speed until the problem is fixed. Even if your car doesn’t reach the point of full overheating, minor inefficiencies in the cooling system can gradually r ... read more
