Thread Name: BS: car overheating
Subject: BS: car overheating
ok the other night my car was overheating on the way home from work. I checked the oil and the coolant...it had plenty but to be safe i added more.

it is a 1997 dodge neon sport.

the next day me and my dad went to where I left the car and determined it to be the thermostat...so i took the old one out...and since it is a holiday weekend could not get to a auto parts shop in time. So I got the new thermostat yesterday and installed it.

Everything was fine, the car ran great...even this morning...until I was almost to work when it started getting warm again...

there is still oil and coolant...the belt looks fine. Did not check the thermostat cause it was too warm to open...plus am at work...

besides I would hate to think that the brand new thermostat has already gone bad....

what else could it be???
