I've read your post on warning others of changing tranny fluid in high mileage vehicles that have not been maintained, but perhaps you can tell me if my case is different. http://www.myhonestmechanic.com/articles/car-engine-over-heating.shtml I have a 1985 Pontiac Fiero with a 2.5L 4cyl. engine with an auto transmission that is overheating after being driven for a while. The coolant is being blown out of the reservoir tank and is not being pulled back into the radiator. http://www.myhonestmechanic.com/articles/rental-car-problem.shtml If you are going to rent a car online, like from Hotwire or some other online service....beware of what can happen to you. http://www.myhonestmechanic.com/articles/Toyota-Camry-engine-overheating.shtml I have a 1994 Toyota Camry that started overheating about a week after I bought it. It only does this at idle speeds. I had a pressure system check done, a new thermostat put in, and a new cooling fan installed. It stopped overheating for a couple of weeks, but then started doing it again. http://www.myhonestmechanic.com/articles/new-car-buying-help.shtml According to my records, every year I have taken the car into the shop for repair work everything from a broken cassette deck, twice actually, to a broken water pump, new muffler and resonator, new heater core, new struts, shocks, new wheel bearing, new tie rod and CV joint, new timing belt, new spark plugs and wires, two new ignition coils, master cylinder work, etc. etc. etc. Is this normal maintenance on a car or does this sound a bit excessive to you? This is my question.
