The thermistat could be bad, check to make sure the fan is kicking on.
No, if anything it would get cooler from having too much. -You have a different problem, possibly a coolant leak.
It could be that your head gasket is shot. It may cause your antifreeze to leak, and your engine will overheat.
antifreeze is intended only for an engine, not for a transmission. there is coolant FOR a transmission, i would say that there would not be sufficient cooling for the transmission. it would probably overheat.
If you drive the Dart like I would (like a bat out of hell) the car would most likely overheat from fast acceleration, and more strain on the engine than what is needed. If you drive legaly, it could very well be the thermostat. Be sure that you use the correctly dilluted antifreeze.
yes, if you have coolant in the oil the oil doesn't give the rod bearings the lubrication that they need, they then overheat, and fail.
A Chevy Cavalier can use standard, all-purpose antifreeze, so it's unlikely that the wrong kind was put in. However, if it is not diluted properly and the antifreeze is mixed with more than 50 percent water, the engine can overheat under some circumstances.
Hose failure, core plug failure, headgasket failure
The car can begin to overheat because it is low on oil or antifreeze/coolant. Your radiator can also be acting up. It is best to address this as soon as possible and not to let it go.
There are a few reasons why a 1992 Jeep Wrangler 2.4 liter would overheat. Some of the reasons are low antifreeze levels, radiator leaks, or fan malfunction.
Too high a temperature
heating element stopped working
it is possible for heat from combustion to cause an engine to overheat quickly depending on where the gasket is blown, but i would look for a lack of coolant circulation first. if your coolant is not getting out of the motor and into the radiator it will overheat very quickly.
