Q: Engine turns over but car won't start

asked by on

My car has 114,479 miles. In hot weather, it overheats and I have to wait until it cools down to restart it. What should I do?

Have the vehicle checked to see if the following cooling system issues need to be serviced:

A thorough test of the cooling system will need to be done to diagnose the problem. I would not recommend driving the vehicle till it has been fixed or diagnosed, or major engine damage may occur.
