VERY LOOOOONG story short- my mechanic found nothing wrong with my car when the gage hit the "H" They said the gage is broken, but, my head mandifold is cracked in half from over heating... I just replaced my freaken thermostat and mandifold and it's still hiting the "H". What else can I do but to cry?! HELP!

To: skippy and Jenny- My car was perviously used. The previous owner took sh*tty care of it- not me- so before you open your mouth- think twice.
Jenny- Why not smart mouth somewhere else- I am way out of high school- Looks like you're still stuck in it.
Retarded haters will no longer hear from me. it's such a waste of my time. Thanks everyone else.

the radiator should be flowed checked by a radiator shop, also check the most obvious a bad radiator cap !!also their is a slight possibility the head gasket or heads are leaking hot exhaust combustion in to the radiator water and super-heating your cooling system, also your water pump could be cavitation and not moving enough coolant to the radiator. check fans. , i suggest sorry! another mechanic, a certified master mechanic. the diagnosis should not be that difficult.

if you are losing coolant but can't find a leak, it may be leaking into the engine, and you may have a blown head gasket. If so ditch the engine and find a good used one. If you are not losing coolant, check that your radiator is cycling coolant. It could be clogged and a replacement is suggested, as well as a new thermostat (they are cheap) and radiator cap. I would ditch the mechanic too. No good mechanic will tell you that you have a broken gauge without verifying it with a laser temperature sensor directed at the engine.

could be bad fans bad radiator bad water pump or it is even possible that you have a bad thermostat
-be sure u have water in your radiator
dont drive it and if u have to roll down the qindows and blast the heat (this will help to keep it cooler)
and i would try a new mechanic
(just have them look at it)

replace the radiator. It's probably clogged. Newer radiators are not designed to be opened and cleaned like the older ones.

it may not be the thermostat. you may need to have the radiator checked. if it's clogged changing the thernostat will have no effect. check around for a good radiator shop that will check your cooling system.

ok.check to see if your water is circulating,and sometimes the fins on the water pump get loose and wont circulate the water.also check to see if your fan is working also.good luck.

You're a nurse...put two aspirins in the gas tank and call your doctor in the morning.
