OK guys, geniuses and all the like ...
I just had the infamous water pump/ timing belt ordeal taken care of. My pump was leaking a little.. now i have a little problem. when i drive around for a while my engine tends to get very hot.. maybe 85% (which i then shut it off), i can hear that the fans are on, my NEW pump is not leaking.. the upper and lower radiator hoses are hot, so that tells me that the thermostat is open..
the radiatior is hot all over ... so that tells me that the pump is working and that the coolant is flowing ...
the only thing i havnt checked is the radiator cap (which im on the way to get a new one).. but based on my usual luck, i never have a $5 fix, it always has to be more expensive.. so is there anything else you guys can think of ... i dont think that it is the temp sensor either, because the engine is really very hot, and i can smell a little heat as well ...
also when my car gets passed the 50% temp mark it sometimes dies, and is very difficult to restart, why is that so .. i dont have a problem at all with a cold start, just warm starts!!!
