Hi there, be gentle on me I fix pc's not Jeeps...
Last night I was on the highway when my Jeep overheated, I let it cool then got it to a gas station. I added, water and coolant, some oil while I was at it and let it cool for a good half hour.
I turned it over hoping for the best when it started sputtering while it was Idling. Also there was alot of gassy smelling exhaust. When it was sputtering I could hear it out of the muffler kinda like tinny slap, over and over till it got to running temp. It kept on over heating, and even now when I turn her over it keeps sputtering with loads of exahst...stinky!
Anyone have an Idea what the heck happend? it was all of a sudden with no warning what so ever!! Today I will flush the rad, but after that I have no clue..
Help me please!!runaround

check to make sure the water pump is not leaking and check into buying a new thermostat. I had one exactley like yours and replaced the water pump, thermostat and made sure the fan was working properly and have not had a problem for over a year Renegaderob18
