Today I was with a friend picking up his dads dry cleaning, and when we were waiting in the drive through my temp went from 190 to about 215 in about 2 mins. I knew it was getting to hot so I shut it off. When I went to start it again it wouldnt turn over it barley started to, sounded like my battery was dead. I have heard of starters getting to hot then not working could this be the cause? or would it be because I have an electric f uel pump and 2 electric fans that are not on switches? or a combonation? Also while im on the topic how hot is too hot for a motor to run?
