went to the mechanic and we replaced the thermostat. he said it was stuck open and was opening and closing late. he installed a new one, filled the sucker up with new fluids and told me to drive around. i headed straight for the highway, drove with the heater on for a bit and then cranked up the AC full blast on cold and drove 15 miles downb to redondo beach, sat in traffic for a bit and then hopped on the freeway and drove back. it was fine until i got back to the mechanic shop, it was running a bit hot but didnt overheat all the way.... he told me the next step would be to take the care to a radiator shop and have the check the radiator.... :cries:
