Engine Cooling problem
1998 Dodge Avenger 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic

My husband had a new thermostat put on his car yesterday. This morning when he started up the car, in a few minutes the car ran hot again and the anitfreeze (water) started boiling and running over. Can you please help me.

Won't overheat in just a few minutes. If you feel what you see as boiling, you'll notice it's not very hot yet. Suspect a leaking head gasket. It's blowing combustion gases into the cooling system.
