I own the car listed above with the DOHC, and I bought it from someone who didn’t take the car into a mechanic for overheating issues. We’re pretty sure she poured a bunch of stop leak in it and the thermostat housing had a huge hole. The heat doesn’t work either, and I’ve replaced the thermostat housing, thermostat and the radiator cap, the head gasket looks fine, and we’ve done a flush but it’s still overheating especially while idling. Today I drove about 10 miles with 15 sitting in between and pulling into my driveway the light came on for the temperature. The whole way there and back it sat at around 1/2 if not a tiny bit higher. I’m sick of this car overheating and I don’t have the money for a huge fix. I was told it might be a water pump but I’m not going to buy another part that I don’t need (I have a new head gasket seal and bolts sitting around because I was told it was the head gasket and it wasn’t).
