when injectors get old they leak. that has nothing to do with overheating though. that has something to do with the cooling system...

What do you mean it is hissing...is it blowing coolant into the overflow bottle and then overheating or just slowly getting hot as you drive it? :notify:

Hissing to me sounds like the thing is spraying hot coolant out of a puncture or a busted seam between the tank and the core. If the car is stock, a stock radiator should do the trick, but I hear there are some who would disagree in favor of a better unit. Anybody able to recommend a radiator source?
