I have a '91 honda accord ex 4yl. Automatic. I have changed the thermostat 2 in the last 6 months. Now here I am the car is over heating again and now the heater won't work. Besides there being a small crack at the top of the radiator. What could this be? Its not the thermostat I just replaced it a couple of moths ago and now the heater wont work. The guage goes all the way hot off of the H. Finally I got it home and as soon as I pulled on to the driveway the engine started sounding like a diesel engine. What could this be? Please help

Thanks
Adam

The diesel is the engine telling you that you are a nut to drive the car so hot. It is not air cooled but liquid cooled. The radiator is shot and now you need to determine if the engine is as well. Overheating kills the ability of the oil to lubricate and protect the engine. Don't spend any money until you are certain the engine is worth saving. Be smarter, look under the hood, check the levels of fluids, turn the engine off when it starts to overheat.
