In case anyone was wondering it was my coolant temp sensor. It was way too sensitive and was telling my computer the wrong thing. I replaced it and it fixed just about any problem i've been having. it even seems to run a bit cooler. So sweet.... thanks for the help. oh and anyone think an aftermarket fan will help keep my car run a little cooler? It has a 3 core radiator and a 185 degree thermostat, but seems to heat up if it's hot outside. Especially when i get caught in traffic. So any suggestions will be awesome. Thanks.
