MY car keeps over heating on me. The top radiator hose is hot and sometimes the engine smokes but other times it doesnt. Also somtimes it takes ten minutes at idle to overheat and other times i can drive it for like 30 minutes and then it over heats. I was thinking about just taking off the thermostat but im not really sure what to do.

inspect the entire system for faults
you may have a plugged radiator
DO NOT RUN THE CAR WITHOUT THE THERMOSTAT
repost if you are still out there
