So much drama with this car lately , I honestly don't remember . I think it did overheat but I think that was due to coolant loss via the pump.

OKAY. But is it the thermostat causing the issue?

I put in a fail-safe thermostat , refilled and bled air from the system. Drove the car about 3 miles when it started overheating. Came right back home and checked. The overflow tank was full. Haynes manual says it could be crank sensor or igniter. Could the timing be off?

I will go out and check. Anything else I should check while I'm out there?

Replaced both hoses at the pump and yes I did fill the block from upper hose. Could blown head gasket be the issue?

I have a 1997 Legacy L Wagon. With 2.2. Recently replaced water pump & thermostat. Engine is over-heating and driving me up the wall. I thought I got the air out. I only drive for about 5 minutes before engine overheats and water fills expansion tank. Please Help, I am at my wits end.
