"gets hot means the temp. gauge" I am going to assume this means it is above normal operating temp and not just warmed up. First things first, why is it overheating? Is there enough coolent in the system, is there a coolent leak, is the thermostat stuck closed, is the electric fan operating, are the upper and lower radiator hoses both getting warm, is there compression from the engine getting in the cooling system, is the heater working, how is the oil pressure? The rough runing and hesitation are probably a result of the overheating. If "gets hot means the temp gage" means normal operation temp, we can look in other areas, let us know model make and year
