10 bucks at the most. have you looked to see if there is water in your oil or oil in the water. sign of a bad head gasket take off then it cools down stop then it heats up. minor cracked head gasket but will get worse do a leak down test and compression test

how do u check that? just take out the dipstick?

okay pull out the dipstick if there is water in the oil the oil will look like chocolate milk, in the radiator you will see little specks of it floating around or lots of it

alright i just checked the dip stick and the bottom of the stick was like chocolate milk but my question is ,does the whole stick have to be like chocolate milk?

no not that i know of i would definatly have the head gasket checked out my friend that is bad news. or maybe just first drain all the oil and refill maybe you have some condensation in the bottom of the pan but i highly doubt it and when you refill run the motor and then let it cool down then check fluids again and see what it looks like.

Thermostat fix...

Well one way to "fix" the thermostat is to quite literally hit it.

Take a wrench and wrap it in a rag, then hit the thing a few times, turn on car, see if it helped. If it did you should probably get a new T-stat anyway, but it might make it so you can drive to NAPA instead of walk LOL

Good luck

did you figure out what was going on?
