July 2014 replaced water pump (hard to get off), tune up wires plugs ( service engine light reset),oil change

*Took trip through desert car overheated, radiator top hose bulge( replaced) thermostat broken in half (replaced) radiator flushed , pressure test done, service engine light on again (replaced gas cap no change),
*Temp gauge still rise to 1st notch uphill /long sit in traffic. Lower downhill / after starting driving
*Air Condition puts out hot air on drivers side only
*Ping sound when accelerate ( at regular temp.)
*Smells like it running rich, use lots of gas
