I have a 2004 PT Cruiser with an overheating problem. I replaced the Catalytic Converter, Thermostat, Pressure cap (16psi), and have done two radiator flush myself. Now when we replaced the Catalytic Converter it run good for two and a half weeks the through a code. It was running cold, that's when we replaced the thermostat. It run hot so we did a flush and replaced the thermostat again with a fail-safe, Pressure cap (16psi). Now the weird thing is, we can drive it for more then half a day, and then stop at the store go in spend a hour come out head home and it run hot. I know its running hot because its pushing water and coolant back into the over flow tank. I do believe the water pump is working good because I can take the radiator cap off and put my hand over the hole and it will suck my hand down to it not much but if I rev the motor the presser is a lot more.

I have looked and have found some for as little as $58 and as much as $130. Is there any thing that needs to be known before going cheap or expensive?
