coolant hose question
i was recently driving the other day and the car started smoking right infront of my house. popped the hood and coolent was spraying everywhere. a major slice in the coolant hose behind the coolant filler neck ( the little 90 degree one) i changed it with a little smaller sized one from the local parts store( thats all they had) i had to force it on to get it to fit. ever since then my temp in the day time (usually around 90 to 105) it starts to heat up so i turn the heater on to make it go down. in the evening when its like 70-80 degrees the stock coolant guage stays right in middle. could i have a leak or is it that the hose is not getting enough flow. also the engine smells sweet from all the coolant that was shooting out. i was told it would smell like that for alittle bit because the coolant is burning off. also i made it a 50% to 50% coolant and water. i know thats bad now after doing some research. any help is greatly appreciated

Are you sure your coolant is 100% full?
|
i filled the ast all the way to where it just starts to overflow into the top hose capped it off and then filled the filler neck to the top
|
you prob need to burp it
|
the stock guage started to heat up again it is 100 degrees out side and doing normal driving. once i turn on the heat to 4 it goes down and stays there. could it be the filler neck cap or the thermostat? when i popped the hood it smells sweet like coolant i smelled around and it seemed to be comming from the filler neck cap. but its not leaking. i am 2nd owner and it looks like it had leaked before. could this be why it is overheating?
|
help please anyone

fixed the radiator cap and still is happening when it is over 90. but once i turn on the heat it goes down and stays in the middle as long as i leave the heater on
