Engine Cooling problem
1993 Chevy Cavalier 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

Car started to heat up, pulled over and found broken radiator hose. Pieced together, added water to radiator until I could get home. Pulled out and drove short distance, car heated up again.

Car wants to start, but just wont quite start. Am planning to replace top and bottom radiator hoses, draining and refilling radiator with antifreeze. Can't see anything else. Main belt looks good.

Any ideas?

check and make sure you have fuel pressure and spark for the no start. you may have a cracked a cylinder head or blowen a gasket from over heating the engine
