i was driving today and my car was running weird. I was on an interstate traveling at speed, I got off an exit and stopped at a light and my radiator dumped. But no hoses were off, it looked like it was coming back though the holding tank. The brake got stiff and the car stalled. So when I went to start it, it would run, but stall out if i didnt give it gas. I drove it home, and the temp gauge was sitting at about 210 the whole way back. I was wondering what could cause this problem?

Could it be the fuel pump? or the thermostat? Anyway... any advice is welcomed.

P.s. I was on the way to a wedding and got hit on by like 1000 people, including a homeless man, so i wanted to get out of there as fast as possible, so i put water in the rad. and drove it home because that was the only problem i knew of.

 

well most blazers run at 190 - 210 mine runs on 210 towing a trailer and with the ac on

you might have fuel problems but you drove the truck home so thats what is confusing me . Id check the oil for water or antifreeze you might have blown your intake gasket also check your fuel pressure for a starting point

 

looked at the dip and it looked good. I have known for a while that i needed to change the fuel pump but i've been putting it off because its not that easy. But if it was the fuel pump i wouldnt have been able to drive it home, what if it is on its last leg?

what would cause the radiator to drain though the resivour?


Sorry swartlkk, didnt mean to mess up.

 

can it be that your thermostat is stuck closed? did the truck over heat over 210?

any ways its always good to replace the stat

 

It didnt appear to overheat, but you know, the more i think about it, that would be the way to go. Thanks!
