When I first got the car, it would run at 193-200 ish and 230 max in traffic. After it got really hot here in GA (115* days) I noticed the car would heat all the way upto just before the 260 mark. I freaked of course, but the car never overheated. I checked the fluid level, it was fine.. I replaced the factory 195 t stat with a 160 to test it out.. still does the same. I noticed that coolent flows just fine, no trouble at all. The main cooling fan comes on, but did not see if the second fan will come on. But sitting in traffic, with the AC on, the car will still heat up higher than the 160 mark. It will go upto 230 with the ac on. Its been about 80-90* outside lately.
Also I have not set my idle yet. If that has anything to do with it.
I can't figure out what is going on! Any help will be great!
