Hey Mike, I have the same car and the same problem. Two weeks ago my car ran hot, CEL came on and radiator started smoking. Pulled over filled with water and made it home. Step dad put that radiator repair kit on and we thought everything was fine. My mom drove my car about twenty miles to my sister house and it ran hot again. We waited several hours filled it with water and drove home. Of course it ran hot again but we had to make it home so I was almost there and I hit the gas and a sound came out like a piece of sheet metal was scraping the ground. We got it home and five days later my uncle replaced the radiator. The car worked great for a day but then it started to turn over slowly. The next morning it wouldn't turn over at all. Sounds like its trying to but cant. My uncle pulled up the spark plugs and all but one had oil and water on them. He said I had a blown head gasket and soon I'd need a water pump and timing belt. I'm close to shedding tears and I have no idea how much this is gonna set me back with school starting next week. Do you have any idea if these are my only problems, can I handle the problems one at a time, and how much the average price is for each one?
