over heating
alright i was driving home from school stop and go traffic well no go actually, all of sudden my fan comes on then 5 min later my temp guage skyrockets and i start to smoke, I turn on the heat and push my car to the shoulder, i pop the hood coolent all over the battery the power steering pulley, and all over my dipstick, i open the coolent reservoir it had enough coolent before i release the pressure, then the pressure lets off and all the coolent is gone, i look to see on the highway the spot where i started to smoke and their is collent everywhere.. so i got a tow to my perofrmance shop 6 hours later...any thought what it could be? my guess is a thermostat because the colling fan was coming the last 2 weeks even with low temps outside.
