Ford Mustang Cooling System Diagram 3,7 L
The cooling system comprises various components, such as:
- Block heater (if installed)
- Cylinder Head Temperature (CHT) sensor
- Fan motor and shroud assembly
- Radiator
- Radiator cap
- Radiator draincock
- Coolant pump
- Coolant thermostat
- Oil filter adapter (for Boss® 302 and 5.4L engines)
- Oil cooler (for Boss® 302 and 5.4L engines)
- Radiator overflow hose
- Degas bottle
- Upper radiator hose
- Lower radiator hose
- Engine Coolant Temperature (ECT) sensor (for 5.4L engine)
The 3.7L engine incorporates a channel cover plate beneath the front engine cover, securely attached to the block with two press-in-place gaskets. A weep hole is located on the front left side of the engine, positioned behind the generator. In the event of oil or coolant leakage from this weep hole, it indicates a problem with the channel cover plate gaskets, which necessitates the installation of new gaskets. For detailed instructions, please refer to Section 303-01A.
The 3.7L, 5.0L, and Boss® 302 engines are equipped with a cold side thermostat. This means that the thermostat regulates the flow of cooled radiator coolant into the warmer engine cooling circuit. The thermostat is situated at the connection point of the lower radiator hose and the engine. During the initial warm-up phase, the engine coolant temperature rises, prompting the thermostat to open. As a result, the cooler coolant from the radiator blends with the warmer engine coolant, causing the thermostat to close. The thermostat cycles through several opening and closing stages until the engine coolant reaches a sufficient temperature to keep the thermostat fully open. Consequently, the engine requires a longer running time compared to a vehicle equipped with a hot side thermostat.
On the other hand, the 5.4L engine utilizes a conventional hot side thermostat.
As for the fan motor:
- It operates exclusively when the ignition switch is set to the RUN position.
- It remains inactive when the switch is in the OFF position.
Engine coolant serves multiple purposes, including providing protection against boiling, corrosion, freezing, and ensuring efficient cooling for the engine and its components. To ensure these protections are upheld, it is crucial to maintain the engine coolant at the appropriate concentration and fluid level in the degas bottle.
