Engine temp up yesterday
Ran the A/C for a few minutes in stop and go traffic yesterday. Engine temp came up to about 205 F. It was hot yesterday and this is the first day it's done this. Idle was a little erratic for about ten minutes, then perfectly normal again. Going to check the basics here at lunch but wanted to get other opinions. I appreciate it.
Thanks,
Tim

Here is what I would do, pull the puke bottle and relocate it. Then pull the rad and throughly wash it. Here are my before and after pics. Now is a good time to flush the cooling system too.

I also tried to wash it without taking the rad out. You can tell by the pictures that did not work too well....
