My car was running hot so we replaced the therostat and the next day we drove to the store and it stated running hot again. Only this time it was burning oil. So we let it cool off and proceeded to drive home which was a 3 miles away and we almost made it but then the car died and won't start. What could it be?

Hi there,

You better first check to see if the engine will crank over, and if it does, do you have spark,
