engine overheating problem
Hi guys,
My 93 aerostar had engine overheating problem today. It had a "start" problem yesterday (actually it can start, but died immediately; after several try, it can start again and ran w/o problem). And this morning when I hit the road (locally driving), the tempgauge went to "HEAT" level, smoke coming under the hood. Could anyone give me some suggestion on what's wrong with it? Thanks!

I hate to ask the obvious, but someone has to. Does it have water/coolant in the radiator?

Is there really a big difference between the 3.0L and 4:0L regarding possible head damage? I'm suspecting head gasket leak on my 3.0L, but people keeps telling me that's probably not the case.
I also have a heating /hot condition, suspecting thermostat / heads.

Would suggest checking radiator for flow and water pump to. Had the same problem with my dads van. The radiator was pluged and water pump was shot. Runs great now for 232,000 miles, not rebiult yet. thank God. LOL. It's a good little van. Just my two cents.
