overheating
so my car started overheating a few days ago it stayed in the normal range but on the "a" or "l" of normal, instead of where it usually is around the "r". then when i was on the highway it went into the H stayed there for a few seconds then slowly went back down to the "a" then kept doing this. now it stays at the H and i dnt kno why any ideas? my intake box snapped a little and isnt tight against the fender does this have anything to do with it?

jus squeez the hose if it feels pretty solid and the hos is hot ther e is water flowing through it. iff the hose jus collapses and its cold the t-stat hasnt open yet. ur thermostat could be stuck open which causes the coolant to flow through the radiator too quick not giving it time to cool off causein you to overheat.

could a faulty upper radiator hose cause this because my car is doing the same thing. when i get on the motor the upper hose collapses but comes back out when im not giving it alot of gas?.. i9 changed my termostat and didn't fix the problem. i do have underdrive pullies but they have been on there the whole time and this just started. water pump only 2.5 yrs old
