Q: my car says it's over heating
I have a 2002 Lincoln LS. We have changed the thermostat and bled the air bubbles out of the lines. But the coolant wouldn't stop pouring out. Can't figure out why the car isn't actually over heating it only says it is inside?
My car has 130000 miles.
My car has an automatic transmission.
