but wouldn't there be water in the oil or steam or something coming out of the exhaust?
when it cranks it drives fine....i have to pat the gas to get it to crank though...it wont start just turn over at 200+ degrees...still think its a head gasket?

oil is normal through the PCV setup. Blowing coolant out the overflow is a sign of a blown head gasket.

I have oil in my throttle body is this normal? its behind the blade...and it blows coolant out of the reservoir and steam after the coolant runs out....is this a bad thermostat or caused by air in the system?

there is no water in the oil and no smoke or steam coming out of the tail pipes so I don't think it is a headgasket

So tonight we were driving down the road and the engine temperature was between 200 and the 3/4 mark. Suddenly the car shuts off the lights flicker then it didn't want to start back up. so we leave it on the side of the road for a couple of hours, come back and it's cooled down some, then it doesn't want to start again, finally we get it started and drive it for 4 miles and we pull over to put water in it because we figured it was overheating but the gauge wasn't saying it was. The water is shooting out of the reservouir. The cooling fans also aren't coming on. But when we try to crank it it turns over but it doesn't want to start. could it be the computer? or a sensor telling it it's too hot to start? what would make the cooling fans not come on? i checked the fuses and everything was fine. the fans won't come on even with the a/c on. any help would be appreciated

oh yeah it's a 2001 grand am gt
