Need Help with 2002 2.0 turbo starting problems

Lets start here I overheated and had car towed home, since then I have been able to start the car but it takes turning the key and cranking it about 5 to 7 times then it will finnally start. It runs good once started but overheats, Once started it will start easy first time every time once it cools down its back to starting hard. I have no heat at all and the resivor bubbles up when running. Is this a head problem? maybe! But it seems to run good once started. Any help would be appreciated.

Sounds like a bad head gasket, either as a cause of the overheating or a result. Best to have it checked out at a shop and not just keep driving it.
