help car is overheating
ok, from the moment i start the motor it just gets hotter n hotter until i turn it off.
the radiator hoses swell up alot but the radiator stays cold.
i turn on the heater n nothing but cold air comes out.
its a 87 turboII but i have a non turbo water pump installed...(long story why)
can it be the waterpump? maby my radiator is clogged? maby the hoses are bad
plz help!!

If the hoses are swelling up and yet there is no circulation it would have to be a clog or a dead thermostat. The water pump is obviously working if the hoses swell.
Don't drive! I broke a motor overheating it once.

for what youre saying it sounds like the thermostat is stuck. the water pump is the same on both n/a and turbo engines so dont worry about that. but like the previous people posted check your thermostat first.
