#309784 What's great about our cars is that parts are cheap. Fix it all, and if it doesn't solve the problem - hey, you have new parts!

hehe thats true but i would start with thermostat and give it a good flush before you replace it...put in the new thermo, then refill and take a drive...dont forget to bleed the system though or you'll get eratic idle issues..

#309787 If its sptting blue smoke as well its the head gasket. You can also check the dip stick and see if the oil is getting water in it. Will also tell you if its the head gasket.
