    I have tried a few different things but nothings working. Ive changed
    the thermostat then I noticed a hole in a hose that runs to the heater
    core which was leaking antifreeze so I assumed this was the
    problem....no it wasnt. I checked the pressure in the radiator
    everything was ok, but no change. The car gets hot real fast. I let it
    idle for about an hour and it was fine but as I drove it got too hot.
    What is this?

    Plugged rad. Plugged internally, that is.

    Poor maintenance.

    Time to boil out or replace.

    Yep, sounds like a clogged radiator to me too. I'd get a new one.
    I see loads of em on flea bay... I guess you could rebuild it, but
    often you will get a lifetime warranty if you buy a new one.
    Depends where you buy it though I suppose.
