Overheating what can be the problem
Answer
Where applicable, if it gets too hot, it will pop the radiator cap to release pressure and the coolant reservoir will fill-up in a hurry. Is the reservoir filling up? I haven't looked to see if you even have a radiator cap.
Any applicable trouble codes? Check oil pressure.
sometimes. I do have a radiator cap. Oil pressure is fine. When I took out the thermostat it seemed to run fine. It stopped overheating. Will It damage my car if I continue to drive without thermostat?
You can take the thermostat out, just for testing, hook the hoses back up. With cross-flow radiator, drain the cooloant down till you see the top couple of passages, where possible. When you start the engine, flow is instant, if no flow, something is clogged-up.
Is the engine siezing when it stalls?
If you leave the thermostat out, at the least, it will burn more gas, take longer to reach operating temp. May or may not set a code? In degrees F, how hot is it getting?
mine does almost the same except i go through lots of coolant and see no leaks and no water in the oil. what could that mean?
You need to make a new post, that way, everybody will see it. Piggybacking your post is not a good way to do it.
