We changed the fuel pump, fuel pump fuse, battery and thermostat. Now, the problem is... in the early morning, if it is cool and misty outside, the car will not start.. the engine does not even try to turn over and the windshield wipers will not come on, but everything else in the car comes on and the horn blows. Then, once it begins to warm up outside, the car will start with no problems. AND... After I drive for a while, in traffic or sit and idle in traffic for a while, the car will shut down because it gets too hot and I will need to refill the reserve engine coolant bottle and let the engine cool down before it will start again. Please help me to determine the cause and solution to this huge problem because I have taken the car to a few mechanics and still don't know. Thank you
