sounds like an over heating problem. is you fan turning on?
When you car is at normal operating temperature feel the two hoses on the radiator, the bottom hose will be hot and pressurized if the thermostat is good, if its cold its bad.

 

help please.....what can i do to fix it?

 

well you really didn't confirm whether or not it was your t-stat...

 

First off, answere our questions, we aren't psychic !

 

well its a question........i got a over heating problem......

 

wow i dont think you understand anything i'm saying. go back and slowly read all the replys and get back to us, or take it to a mechanic.

 

^ lol x2

 

i think u meant "psychic" lol, n to the OP... He's right, since u said ur coolant level is normal, we need to know if the fans come on n if the t-stat is opening. These are 2 basic things to diagnosing overheating. No need to get irritated, we can figure this out in no time.

 

Sounds like your fan isn't turning on.

Start your car and let it idle in your driveway. If your temp gauge gets higher then halfway up without your fan kicking on, that is the problem.

If it doesn't turn on, check your fuse, make sure the fan is plugged in fully and if both these things check out, use a multimeter to check for power at the fan.If the fan is getting power, it is time to replace it.

 

to fix your overheating problem.. take it to a repair shop.

 

thanks to every1 for the help.....I'll check everything.....

 

How long did the needle stay at H, it might have blown the headgasket
