So here it goes, so my 00 civic coupe d16y8 started heating up, i opened the hood and anti freeze was leaking and burning out of the radiator cap (which caused this visible smoke) now i went to the mechanic and he told me FOR SURE that i needed to replace my radiator..guess what? 15 minutes later AFTER i paid 200$ for the radiator to be replaced with a new one i started smelling a smell of burnt metal (like the kind when you use a saw against metal and makes that smell..also the cold and hot gauge started going to hot (Im going back to the mechanic tomorrow the same one) PLEEASE HELP SHES MY DAILY!
( I don't know if turning the a/c on effects it but my mom turned on the a/c right after the fix was done of course they made us wait for the fluids to be just right)

Other issues
- The car has high idles that go from 1k to 2k that sometimes go to each other up and down and sometimes in between.

Head gasket? Or thermostat ? And for the idle issue it could be a dirty IACV
