[BaadAssGremlins] Re: Engine Help Please



I think I figured out the problem, the rad hoses are the original hoses 
on the car and they are in really poor shape, one of them may have 
collapsed or the thermostat may have gone bad and prevented coolent 
flow, the engine overheated and wouldnt run and kept shutting off, I 
picked it up late last night off of the side of the road and it drove 
beautifully all the way home once it cooled off, I originally 
overlooked this possibility due to the fact my temp gauge is not 
working so i did not realize it was getting hot. I am changing the 
hoses, water pump, thermostat, and temp sending unit to be safe.
