I've checked all the overheating posts I could find and I just can't tack this one down...
In the mornings, I'll come out to my car and start it, let it warm up, etc. I'll drive it to say, my girl's house a few miles away, and let it idle in the driveway. After a bit, the temp gauge will just start slowly rising up really close to the red. Holding the engine at 2500 for a couple seconds brings it back down, and driving off does, too. Basically, any time it's sitting still for more than a few minutes, the temp gauge goes up.
Replaced both thermostat switches, coolant system is full, no leaks, fan does work, water pump works, everything I've checked that could possibly cause it is fine. I just can't track down the issue and I'm afraid that too much of this is going to make my engine explode or melt or something....
Any ideas, friends?
