Why does my car overheat at low/idle speeds?
A couple of years ago I had a new water pump/timing belt installed and it did good for awile.
For awile now my car blows a small amount of antifreeze into the overflow. I went to Asheville n.c. for vacation with my car and it did good on the long distance trip. Sometimes but not all the time some white smoke comes out of the tailpipe when it overheats. I do not believe that there is coolent in my antifreeze and this car has had carburator problems before but I have fixed some of them. i have recently installed a new fuel pump. Could my problem be a intake gasket or a modulator diaphram? The carb. might be running lean, could this cause overheating? any info is appreciated ! Thank you.
