The other day I rolled into GreatClips for a haircut and notices that my car was steaming from the hood. I didn't think anything of it then when I came back and tried to start it, it would stay running for a few seconds, car would start to shake, then would turn off. I checked the coolant, and that seemed to be fine, but the collant cap was crazy hot and so was the whole hood and engine. Any thoughts? One of my buddies thought it might be time for a new water pump...

 

I'd start cheap ... new thermostat, radiator flush and fill and a new radiator cap ....$30 ....

 

I agree with BV. Mine was doin the same thing. So i went and gota thermostat ($25) and replaced it myself. It only took me 20mins to replace it.
