replace sensor of coolant tempature

Should be on fusebox, if not it will be hanging to one side or other of steering column

you are in a panic and losing you temper with it ,now as its an older vehicle i am asuming that its a V belt and not a serpentine belt ,and you have more than one V belt fitted to this vehicle ,right then to slacken the bolt behind the pulley try turning the pulley and it should have a hole in it to slacken the bolt behind it ,now if their is no hole then this bolt doesnt have to be slackened as you have to remove the pulley first which most likely has three bolts holding the wheel on .So here my guess is you have an idler pulley that has to be be slackened to remove the belt ,have a good look after a cup of tea and then i promise you it will slacken and you will kick yourself .Sorry i cannot be more specific but these american cars a bit a bit thin on the ground here in spain ,but we have plenty of citreons and peugeots though and these french made cars are designed to be worked on by ambidextrous buddas with 8 arms .

There is a serpinetine belt that goes around the p/s pump and the pulley and alternator. Ther are 2 bolts on the alternator one long that holds the alternator onto the vehicle and one short that adjusts the belts to tighten and loosen. Loosen both bolts, this allows the alternator to tilt letting you remove belt. Hope this helps. Good Luck

Your thermostat is probably stuck and needs to be changed. I assume when you say it leaks you are speaking of when it overheats it leaks out the overfill tank is that correct?

get a repair manual online or store--spray some carb cleaner on it--mitchell and chilton have sites that show procedures

You didn't say if the car won't start with the key or just the remote start. If it's just the remote start remove and look at the battery as you might have got it in upside down.
