Overheating?
Yo guys I need help. the light that indicates the car is over heating turns on out of no where, even if its cold as **** outside. something else i noticed is when im going 20mph and i hit the brakes enough to jerk the car, it turns off. and sometimes when i m driving and the RPM's reach 5K and up, it makes a weird sound like its struggling. i need help yo.

Can be your thermostat, sensor, low coolant, coolant leak, or water pump. Get your coolant system checked. Is it over heating, like the actual temp gauge goes up to H or just the coolant light?

why would you start 2 different threads, giving a different description in each? Kinda stupid. Did you stop to think that they may be related??

Sounds like your coolant level sensor is going bad (common problem, search it) or you need to add some coolant, just check the level it's easy.
Also the hard starts when the engine is warm, loss of power, and odd noises could either mean you need to look at seafoaming, replacing the coils and plugs (what was the last time you did this?) or that you need to get a compression test to see if the engine is dying.
