I'm having an overheating issue.
After the car warms up the needle goes all the way up into the over heating area. Basically after about 2-4miles it just jumps up, so I replaced the thermostat and made sure I had plenty of coolant in the car. It still shows it's over heating.
Only two things I can think of, something is wrong with the water pump. The main drive belt isn't broken, but is there anything else that could be wrong with the water pump?
I also saw people complaining of the Sensor goes off and starts showing erratic stuff. Mine has never shown erratic tempatures, but I'm wondering if it has completely failed? Also I haven't driven the car in about four months.
Thanks
