I just took a 500mi trip and at the end of my trip I found my vehicle starting to overheat (NO temp mod) maybe 3/4 of the way up the scale. AC on (but cutting off), maybe about 80 degree weather, a little hilly.
I've noticed that the passenger floor (seems more like just before the cats) has started to get hot. Could my potentially clogged cats contribute to my overheating?
Also I changed the fluid not more than 20k ago, and there is a seemingly unreasonable amt of sediment floating around in the radiator. Where is this coming from?
Right now I'm going to give the radiator a quick flush, I'm at a friends and I didn't bring my toolbox that I usually keep in my car for situations like this, go figure. I'm hoping to make it home without doing any damage. Any other quick things I should do?
