Car Not Running - Help
I have been having some problems recently with my 2001 PT Cruiser (79K miles) It started with the car overheating when it was hot outside or if I ran the air conditioner. The car was also running really sluggish and jumping. Took it to the dealership and they said it needed a tune up. Gave it the tune up and it took care of the sluggish and jumping problem, but the car was still overheating. Took it to a mechanic and he checked all codes, come back with any error codes. Replaced the thermostat as suggested and could drive it with the air on but only on low and I was still having the same issue of it overheating and now when you turn the car off after driving, you can hear gurgling from the radiator. Needless to say, the car has been sitting since July 23 and I have been driving the Nissan Titan that has been killing me in gas. Any suggestions on what this can be since all the codes are coming back normal on the car? I have heard everthing from "You need to replace the head gasket, waterpump, heater core and timing belt" to "You need a new radiator".... Please help!!
