Re: Overheating

Bump.

My 92 is overheating and didn't seem to fit in the other threads I searched and since this is the biggest thread, I thought I'd bump it.

The problem
Mine overheats and has no heater. Since it is Christmas eve, I can't diagnose it much but white smoke comes out every time I hit the gas (and only when I hit the gas). Also no heat and it was puffing white smoke out of the hood after driving it for 5minutes.

My quick diagnostic
The white smoke from exhaust leads to me think that it's a gasket...but I checked the coolant and engine oil and it's clean. Also no sign of coolant on the exhaust.
The over heating part leads me to think that it's a bad thermostat. The car has over 170k miles so this might be the culprit.

Does anyone else have any other ideas?
