Is there a light that says "security" on the dash? This could be an issue with your anti theft system. These cars tend to have communication issues which would explain why the car will eventually start after a short period of time. This link explains the problem and offers solutions. Hope this helps.

There's a product called "Barr's Stop Leak" that provides a temporary fix...but when you have a radiator leak, its best to either get it fixed at a radiator shop or depending on model...get a replacement.
By just patching a leak...you are putting your engine at risk.

With those symptoms I would replace the start relay. But it could also be an ignition switch failing.

Please let me know if you have questions, and thanks for using FixYa.

Your fan is electric and it sounds like it isn't working. When the car sits in one place, there is no airflow through the radiator. When you drive there is. You need to check to make sure the fan is working, after that you need to make sure that it is recieving 12volts when the engine reaches the temp set for fan activation.

The problem could be: bad fan, bad coolant switch, bad fan relay, bad PCM.

It doesn't take Freon. It uses r134a refrigerant.

Hello: Your car does NOT use a key with a chip, (That is the pass-key system) you car has pass-lock. If you have a security problem you have to replace the whole lock cylinder assembly also the key if it is worn bad.
