HTH

PS have u checked the plug leads or dizzy cap?
was going to say the same thing.
Is your fan kicking in and how high is your tempreture gauge when it does kick in?
Did you anti freeze for the winter?Hope so,could have a cracked block now.
Fingers crossed for you on that.
I not to familiar with your car but I do know some of the guys on here,know these well and will help you out.
Seen loads of these sorts of posts and suffered same problems and it can be many many things.
Give us a reply to my questions,could simply be,your fan isnt kicking in which the relay is a common fault on these.
