I have a VR wagon, that you can't drive for more than 5 mins before it starts pouring steam out of the bonnet, it doesn't loose any coolant. I have changed the temp sensor, the coolant temp sensor, the thermostat to a high flow and it still does it. any ideas? And lately when you start the car it either starts and stalls or it starts and sounds like it's goin to stall, or is miss timing but when has started for 10 secs it's fine and works fine under load??? any more ideas?

No matter how many times I read this I fail to comprehend.

Had the radiator replaced as it was rooted. But the steam was actually smoke and had a craked power steering hose that was squirting power steering fluid over my extractors. And replaced the throttle body and all is fine
