So, I just replaced the coolant temp sensor, radiator flush, oil change, spark plugs, and a new pressure release radiator cap. Now, my overheating problems are worse. I just started my car and let it warm up to normal temp, then I took it out for a cruise. I got about a mile and it stalled. I figured, ok, i'll figure that out later. So I turn around and drive home, it dies again on me twice, and both times it gets harder and harder to start again. Then when I get home, I park it, pop the hood and my coolant over flow is boiling. Then I release the pressure on the cap and the coolant overflow starts boiling even bigger and hotter. I tap the valve cover with my finger and I thought I was gonna get 3rd degree burns. WHATS UP????? I've heard that KA's run really hot, but come on, this can't be right. Thanks.

My apologies. I have probably upset the search button gods. I totally forgot about that button. I just tried it and it answered my problem. Thanks anyways.
