Hi...my car seems to over heat and chew more fuel than usual,and its very noticable. does any one know wat the problem is? where can i get it fixed and how much would it cost? Could it be a mal-function in the ecu? The car is not running rich because we have tested the car and there is no black smoke coming from the exhaust at all...Any replys would be greatly appreciated

When you have been for a drive and stopped, check each wheel near the hub for heat. If one brake is sticking it will be hotter than the others. If you wait too long all the wheels heat up. Or u could jack each wheel up and see it turns fairly freely, ther
