Thanks for the help. The car has been starting fine since but the weather has been cooler. Should be interesting to see how it starts when it warms up a bit. I did look under the hood yesterday and found the flexible metal pipe, which leads from the bottom of the rad into the lower part of the engine on the passenger side, had fallen off. I reattatched it and tightened the clamp. Not sure how long that's been off or what effect it would have by being off. Heck, I can't even find anywhere in my Haynes manual what that hose/tube is called or it's function. My research has pointed me towards some routine maintenance; change air filter and fuel relay switch. So far I have never had a problem with overheating.
