CEL 10- IAT - intake air temperature sensor

After driving for about 10 mins the car start stalling, heater is always cold, and i cant tell if its over heating because the temp gauge isnt working but smoke is coming up from around the water pipe and i can hear sizzling noises..

The symptoms are:

-Radiator fan dont turn on
-Coolant reservoir always full, coolant doesnt get suck in
-Top hose is hot, bottom is cold
-Heater always cold
-Car starts to stall after 10 mins of driving
-Smoke coming up from under the IM..water pipe?

symptoms sound like a stuck thermostat but is not same as IAT. so i guess you need to replace both

and if your overheating that bad to hear the water sizzle u most likely warped your head as well and need to replace the headgasket.

i got same problem with fan not coming on. ima goto a junk yeard and jack a relay, see what happens. you can also run a loop on the thermostat housing sensor and it will run continuosly

Well i jumped the fan switch and the fan runs now, the heat warm up but the car still bogs at low rpm...

DC2point0
