That is true but I wasn't specific in my last post. I had the same problem with my First CRX that the fan was hooked up through a switch and I'd always leave it on. But it did keep the temp pretty cool

, anyways, is the jump into the 200's sudden? If the temp is fluctuating quickly and to extreme temps its an air pocket(and yes they are a bich to get out). Where do you have your temp sensor run to?
