Lately my car has been running hot, really hot. SOmetimes all the way to the H.
WHen it idles its right in the middle but esspecially when i get on it, it will go up to the L. WHen I am driving down the highway at 75, about 2100 rpms, it will be right in the middle, jump to l, bounce off past the H, the car will start to jerk (just like if you are at 3k in first and give it a little gas then let off) then will go back down to normal right in the middle all in about 4 seconds. I dopnt think there is air in the system, I ran it for a bit without the cap on and held it at 2k for a min. Is this the temp sensor or t-stat? I'm hoping its a cheap fix. Thanks for the help everyone, and the only engine related stuff I have done is full exhaust.
