Question HELP! Engine overheating problem???

Here i am posting the problem that I'm facing with my car from last 2 month. My car engine overheats quickly only in small run. I'm unable to understand what's the problem is? Is it a big issue and i need a machanic or it can be solved by myself. I'd already spent so much money on my car and don't want to spend more. So please give me your suggestion that what i have to do!!!

Start with a new cap if no help then try a new thermostst,and if not solved try having the radiator boiled out.

Thanks for your suggestions, but there is nothing with the cap, and the other parts you are talking about, I'd replaced them a few month ago, then how its possible that it stopped working? Does it some particular part issue or of whole engine system?

Make sure the thermostat is not in backwards. are the hoses in good condition,a pinched hose due to vaccum can cause overheating.

what have you done to fix the overheating to date. have you checked your timing. if retarded it will run hot. did you put in a used or rebuilt, or new radiator. is your radiator fan working when it gets hot.

This problem occurs when the engine parts get old or damaged. You can go through http://www.360tuners.com/engine-performance-parts.aspx and you can replace your car's mostly damaged engine parts and thus get your problem easily solved.

Hey, I recommend you to go some local manufacture, during online shopping there may be problems like you can only check products after shipped & payment and if u go for local manf. you can check the product before purchase and if the product is damaged or not suitable; you can easily get replaced it at the spot. On the other side it may take your lot of time to do all this.
