I have to agree with the bloked radiator.
I had 2 different cars that did the same thing. Usually if the thermostat is bad well stuck closed you would be overheating like boiling over. In both my cases they ran hotter than normal but not enough to boil over. On my geo it got so bad that after replaced all the hoses that the seal on the water pump blew. I tried flushing it but ended up getting a new one. I found out it was clogged by taking it out and holding a garden hose to one of the hose oppening with the cap on the radiator built up pressure and water wasn't flowing through after replacing it everything was normal. but thats where i would start it not then you could also have a blown head gasket where it is leaking pressure from a cylinder but you would more than likley have noticed other things like water in the oil or vise versa and probably be oner heating but not allways depends on how the gasket is. Good luck with it. This post has been edited by morbiddelusions: Apr 16, 2006 - 1:27 AM -------------------- 94 st
