      thank you guys for all the help.

      Now after getting this done a new issue popped up (i LOVE neons lol). The engine light came on two days ago and not the heater will not blow hot air. I am stating to think that they first problems with the overheating is all related and that as i fix one issue, more keep jumping up.

      I am waiting for my buddy to get back from vacation so i can borrow his tool to hook it up to my car to see what engine light code i get…but as far as the heater not blow hot air…any suggestions?

      btw THIS site is the best forum on cars i have found and glad I came here

        yes it is a 50/50 mix.

        is there a way to check air in the system or to bleed it out?

          yes I the water pump was changed not to long ago, along with the belts.

          I have not tried the temp sensor yet, but since replacing the Thermostat, it takes about 10 minutes more driving time to start to overheat…not sure if that makes a bit of difference.

          I was driving it today, both highway and stop and go, and it would jump to overheat about 10 minutes into driving and then drop to normal temp. Then 10 minutes later it jumped to overheating temp and from then on the needle jumped from overheating to normal temp. This was also followed by a slight burning smell.

          I looked under the hood and no smoke, no external leaks, coolant levels were normal, heat and ac work perfectly, and the fans were spinning.

            i had it idle that long trying to see if would overheat. it is my wife’s car so i never really drive it.

            I think i will try the temp sensor next since that seems pretty straight forward.

            Thank you guys for the advise!

              would the sensor be bad without an engine light coming on?

                      Would this cause the system to work fine as if nothing happened for a while? I am gonna replace the cap since they are not expensive. Just bugs me that i have tried to run the car hard to grt the same reaction as my wife did so maybe i can grt a better handle on why it happened
