    a few months ago I noticed the temperature gauge on my '94 escort always seemed to stay on "cold".. didn't think anything of it at the time, but now I've noticed if I drive the car fairly aggressively for more than half-hour or so- the gauge will go to "hot" completely bypassing the "normal" range; and the overflow tank overfills sending steam and that oh so lovely smell of coolant into the air. I had a mechanic check the thermostat, but he found nothing wrong ?? Now I'm trying to figure out exactly what the problem is
    any of you had similar problems or know a likely cause of my dilemma?
