Q: I have replaced the battery and starter but when i start the car it still overheated.
I have replaced the battery and starter but when i start the car it still overheated. I unplug the temperature cooling system to make it home. Then heard a grinding sound that got louder and more persistent. Once I made it home the car shut off at the gate. I was able to start it. Again but about 5 seconds later did a jerking motion and shut off. Please help identify the problem!!!
