Car runs hot?

Hi,

The first thing I would consider would be the engine coolant thermostat. It may not be fully opening which will restrict coolant flow. Has that been replaced? Also, and don't laugh, is the heater working correctly? Does it overheat if you are driving at highway speeds? When it does begin to overheat, does the cooling fan turn on?

First, check the engine coolant level when the engine is cold. If it is full and the thermostat is original, that is what I would suspect next.

Take a look at this link:

However, before I want you to replace anything, I need to know the answers to my questions above.

Let me know.
