  • Engine temp rising...

    My car usually runs at 180* (I have a 160* thermo, but its hella hot here in FL).

    Today it crept up to over 210* so I shut off the A/C which helped a little but not much.

    I know it needs a radiator flush, but it started this all of the sudden, it hasnt been gradual or anything like that.

    Broken thermostat?

    Let me know your thoughts.
