overheating POS
ok.......today i was leaving my parents house and pull out onto the highway to go home...as im pulling out i notice my temp gauge slowly getting hotter then it gets all the way to the red....so i shut it off.........call my dad, he brings me two big buckets of water, we put it in, and it starts leaking, we cant tell where from though........this is in a time period of about 30min or so with me starting the car while he pours water just to see what the temp gauge would do.....started it 3 times while he was pouring....all three times it was right at 210(halfway point)......luckily(hate using that word at this time) we were like a couple hundred feet from the mechanics shop where my car has been living lately so he got his truck and pulled me there..........any thoughts/ideas/suggestions i can do/try/look for? he's gonna call tomorro and see if the mechanic cant take a look at it. IM SO F'ING PISSED AT MY F'ING CAR!!!!!!!!!!! heres a lil recent history of upgrades/replacement parts on my car.....most recent-plugs/wires(bout 2 weeks ago); new computer, fuel pump(about 3-4mo ago); new water pump/pully(about 6-7mo ago...not positive though..dont remember...around then)
