Are you sure it is overheating or is the temp sensor bad. A bad sensor will tell the ECM the engine is hot and the ECM will retard the timing and richen the mixture along with other thing like turning on the warning light....make sure it is actually overheating

    I have a problem with my buick. The only way that you can start the car and keep it running is if the hazard lights are on. When you shut them off the car turns off. Any help would be great.
