Running Hot !
who ever called these things "HOOVERS" , hit the nail right on the head. today in traffic mine started to hit the 250 degree mark. tonite at work i looked at the face of the radiator . used the space where the a/c line go thru to see in there. looked like i had used my vette for a lawn vaccuum. dowel rod, some duct tape and a plastic brush cleaned it right up. worth a shot guys, check yours !

I always recommend the air intake be checked periodically. I have removed a bird, several plastic bags, leaves,coffee cups, and other road items. It is quick and easy to do and it does not cost a penny!!

I've got a little grunge on the front of my radiator. I'm going to see how much of it I can remove through the right side of the radiator shield. Don't have time to pull the radiator right now (it's really not that bad for a 14 year old car.).
