Hey guys, I was on my way to Fairfax and my engine overheated and the SVT left me stranded on rt50. After adding coolant and letting the car cool down for a couple hours I tried to start her up, but after 2 miles of miles to a gas station it was overheating again. I had it towed to a shop close to Bowie, MD. The shop was closed by the time I got it there, so I'm not sure whats wrong with it.
Here's the background of what happened: I had to accelerate hard when I came out of a gas station to merge into traffic and ever since i did that the car started to act up. I drove it for a mile after that and I saw the needle rocket past the "H". I didn't see any smoke or feel any performance change so I thought the gauge was just acting up so I drove it for another couple miles. I started to smell something so I rolled downed the window and listened and I heard a ticking noise so i pulled over and that when I saw the smoke. So thats the background.
I'm not sure whats wrong but even after putting more coolant in it just spits it back out of the radiator cover. There may be a blockage somewhere. Hopefully I won't need a new radiator. BTW today was the first time i used the ac for the year if that matters. To make matters worst I left the dome light on by mistake after I dropped the keys in the night box and today was my birthday
So any help would be appreciated
Thanks {J}
