SOMEBODY PLEASE HELP!!!!
« on: August 04, 2006, 07:24:33 PM »

My car is overheating and I need to get back to TN from MA. I replaced the radiator, thermostat, and had a coolant flush as well as cut some new air dams so I could get better air flow to the radiator. Yet none of these have seemed to work for me. The stupid peace of excrement still creeps to HOT. My circulation is fine as I have felt the hoses. I do however have a clogged Heater core which we are going to bypass tomorrow. Could that actually make the car over heat? I have had shops tell me yes and some tell me no. I'm all out of ideas and I pray its not the head gasket or a warped head. ANY SUGGESTIONS?Huh?

Thnx

how about your exhaust? maybe someone put something (like a potato) in it or maybe the catalytic converter broke or something. If the engine can't expell the exhaust it will overheat gradually.
