Question
my 1994 crown victoria ran hot can you please tell me the problem.

Answer
Your problem could be as simple as a stuck Thermostat. The Thermostat is usually located at the end of the Top Radiator Hose, where it goes into the top front part of your car's Engine. If the Thermostat isn't the fault, you may need to dig deeper, as in checking for Coolant in the Oil, indicated by the Oil taking on a milky coloration. You might also notice an excessive amount of bubbling in the Coolant Overflow, when the Engine is running, if a Head Gasket is blown, or that Coolant seems to be disappearing at a rapid rate, and there are no external leaks. If all else fails, a Mechanic I know, has waived an Emissions Tester Wand over an open Radiator Cap, with the Motor running, in order to detect Exhaust Gases in the Coolant, an indication of a bad Head Gasket.
