6 Other Fuel System problem

Failure Date: 02/10/2012

Over heating for no reason. Sometimes the fuel line seems clogged or full but will act as if it out of gas. Have changed the alternator and distributor and the problem is still occuring. Was told that it was a radiator but there seems to be a defect with the fuel system. Some days it will start to run hot and if you keep yoyr foot on the gas the hot temp will go down. Leaking out gas from left side as well as blowing out white smoke as if the engine is blown but I know its a good engine. Some days the car will run fine but it seems to. Me like the cold weather causes matbe sensor issues with the fuel system. Also the gas light will come on spiratically like when you hit a pot hole like there is an short.

My gm Buick rendevous has a broken fuel guage. It was purchased new in 2002 and by 2006, the fuel guage no longer worked. We never reported it until I read an article regarding the number of gm fuel guages that are broken, yet it did not list the rendevous model as one that had problems. We have to monitor fuel usage by the number of miles driven.
