overheating question
My 97 coupe runs at normal operating temperature as long as I am driving. As soon as I come to a stop, whether I shut the car off or leave it running, the temperature gauge slowly elevates to the H. If I start the car and start driving again it will slowly go back to normal operating temperature. Someone please give me a clue as to what is going on here.
thanks.

Re: overheating question
Ya that would be my guess, try replacing that, and the gasket, and see what happens.

Re: overheating question
Thanks Guys. I'll check the thermostat because the radiator fan is working perfect as well as the fan for the A/C.

Re: overheating question
radiator may be slightly clogged or not flowing enough to get proper cooling at idle.
