Question type: Maintenance & Repair

2000 Chevy Cavalier running HOT!
Replaced thermostat and fan motor.
Car cools while driving. No coolant
leaking. Jug is full. I have to turn the
car off in traffic and at stop lights.
Only gets hot while idling. I'm
thinking water pump or bad head
gasket.

Best guys are @ Les Schwab. Probably a bad connection, could be head gasket or a simple problem to fix like a water pump. That should solve the problem.

Hello I have a 2001 chevy cavalier and yesterday morning I tried to start my car and turned over the key and it did absolutely nothing. There was no clicking or winding noises only noise I heard was my fuel pump kicking on. All my lights are working normal and so is my radio. I tried jumping it just to make sure it wasn't an issue with my battery but it still wouldn't start. What could be the problem? 9 Answers
