Driving a car with an overheated engine, will cause a build up of pressure that can blow gaskets and cause other internal damage. It's an expensive repair, or may require replacing the engine. Some engines can handle heat better, frequent motor oil changes are recommended for better performance...

2003 Chevy Tracker stalls or won't start when engine warm or hot?
I had this problem with my 2001 Tracker, 2.0 L DOHC engine. The problem was caused by the Crankshaft Position (CKP) sensor. It wasn't sending the right signal when it got hot. Info on the web said a guy doused it with water after it got hot enough to affect the engine and it started right up. Replacement was about $180 for the part. Easy install. Problem solved.

Why is your temperature sensor going hot then cold?
your thermostat could be wearing out. what happens then is that it wont open until the engine gets abnormally hot, then as the coolant flows through the engine, it gets cooler, and so it closes, then once it gets real hot again, it opens. so on and so forth. steinbacher682@hotmail.com
