Well Veeky Forums, I'm currently stuck in a motel in a shitty town because my car overheated 80 miles from the finish of a 380 mile trip. I saw the temp gauge climbing, so I set the heater on full blast. It went down to idle, then to the top in about 15 seconds. Limped it to a autozone in a hick town after letting it cool and refilling coolant. Fuses were good, there were no leaks, radiator fan spun, and water pump works. Thermostat was pretty fucked. Am I overlooking something? After a coolant flush, will I be good to finish my trip?
Car is a 2003 pt cruiser gt, pic is thermostat. It was still hot when removed, and jammed on that post

Where did it go?

it's half way open so that's good.
But it's out so you might as well change it.

Out the radiator cap
Already working on it, but dropped my socket in the engine bay and it was close to midnight

i would have just took it out and pitched it on the side of the road. fixed it proprer when I got home. if the wp is pumping, the fan is spinning and the rad is holding pressure it should be fine.

Coolant came out of the cap when it overheated. Do you mean at idle after I get it put back together?

Bump. Anyone think it'll be fine after I put it back together?
