Vehicle has been properly maintained under hood components for years. One day I started it up and was smoking heavily. No evidence has been shown to be a failure to maintain. No loose or bare wires, nothing unordinary going on under the hood that could cause this. No signs of operator error so forth.

The vehicle is constantly overheating. The thermostat on the dash jumps erratically and as soon as you shut the engine off and pop the hood you can put your hand on the engine. The engine is cool to the touch. Changed several parts and there is no leak.
