themostat replaced, seems like problem is solved, drove for a bout 10 minutes in city stop and go and engine maintained a temp just left of center on the temp gauge it appears all good, the only time the car has been in the red was for about 10 seconds as i exited highway and immediately shut car off and found busted HCV the car was not started again until the HCV was replaced. the slow overheating showed its face on the highway drive home, when the car began to overheat (3/4 to red on qauge) i stopped and loosened drain cap forcing coolant through part of the systems this brought the car back down to operating temperature, this happened a few times on the 7-8 mi in stopandgo traffic, in other words it hasn't been driven in the red. fingers crossed my head is ok the car has about 215,000 on it now and it would be nice to see 3


thanx to all
