Ok, engine has been randomly running hot here and there lately. It is not just while idling or at highway speeds, so pretty sure its not the fan clutch. New thermostat and fan clutch two years ago along with a new radiator. The old one had about 20lbs of sediment in the bottom! Could power flushing the system have pushed that crap into the heater core causing this prob?
When heading up to the Eisenhower tunnel to go boarding I hafta turn the heater on to keep it cool....not gonna be good in the summer! The temp also creeps up with just normal city driving sometimes too. Any ideas? I have been cat less for 5 years now and was wondering if that could create backpressure in the exhaust manifold making this problem worse...or causing it all together. Do I just need to upgrade to a better radiator or what do you guys think?
Thanks for the input in advance.
