    when my car first broke down it overheated so we let it cool off and realized that the car didnt have any oil and a little bit of antifreeze. so i got my oil change, antifreeze was put in, new pcv valve , new hose was put in (which caused the car to stop because it burst open). then the car started overheating again and found out i needed a new thermostat and idk the real name to this but a gastic. then my car was working again then it started making a sound and it sounded like it was going to break down again. so then we noticed that the radiator cap was messed up and there was so liquid on the engine. so we got a new cap and it still wont start,so what could be the problem

Possible fan clutch..Usually if its a fan clutch it will run hot sitting still but cool off once going down the road..If it takes a while to run hott then i would suspect a clogged radiator..When you drain it did it look like all the antifreeze came out..Ive seen half the radiater clogged up where half of it drained but the clogged section stay in the radiator

If you brake the timing belt on a honda it can cause permanant valve damage. You probably need a valve job.

1999 Honda accord coupe stalling randomly
this is your ignition switch failing. Typical symtoms when stalling, speedometer and tach dropping to zero(while in motion), some warning lights not lit, power failure. The internal contacts are shorting due to poor design and engineering. This causes vital engine/vehicle electrical failure, causing the stalling(happens more often in hotter/humid weather). There is a recall in place for this in 2002, over 1.5Million vehicles from 97-02 Honda2.gif/Acura models affected. Owners were notified in 2002!! If your vehicle is part of this recall, honda may repair for free. Call your local honda dealer with your VIN# at hand, they will give info on this recall and may repair for free. Otherwise the switch cost about $45-$95. hopefully this helps...please rate...thanks

Check engine light code 0441
You may not have a leak, the problem may be with the sensor on the fuel tank that tells the Power Train Control module if the system holds vacuum, like all sensors these will and do fail on occassion, if you ran a leak down test and the system held vacuum within the manufacturers specs then the sensor may very well be the problem that is turning on the check engine light.

Light tapping noise coming from engine
this is a very common problem or so i have heard mine has been doing it for two years and its still fine. what i do is buy some gunk oil treatment or i hear seafoam works good too. put it in 5 min before oil change and it will clean the build up in oil passages and free the sticky valves then use mobil one full synthetic oil its much better plain oil wont help it ive tried. and the noise will go away untill its time to do it again. i usually get 4-5 months noise free then it will start again.
