| Vehicle runs hot and will not pass the smog test. i replaced the thermostat three times and the radiator one time just recently. the diagnostic test shows that the engine cooling coil or system has a problem. i can no longer drive it because it will not pass the smog and i cannot get it registered!!!! *tr | |||
