Getting hot
Ok I have a 1999 GT. Yesterday is the first time this has ever happened. It was just over half way on my temp gauge and the car started to "boil over".. I stopped let it cool and filled it up. It took quite a bit of water. By the way at the time I was driving about 40 mph and it was around 97 degrees or so... Last night, wasn't driving crazy, & it did the same thing, only this time the gauge was showing "H" .. it was really getting up there. I stopped let it cool down, and put a new thermostat in.. not 160, cause they had to order it..I thought maybe it was sticking.. So I drove it, did it again, almost right away. What could the problem be? I am getting so frusterated???!??!![:@]

Does your radiator have a leak that you can see anywhere like when you look under your car?

RE: Getting hot
This might be a pile of BS but I hope not. I had that problem in another car and if I remeber right I changed to radiator cap because it has to have a certain seal. This is what I was told to do.. [&:]
Edit, have you checked your water pump?
