Hey almost forgot to let you folks know that I found the problem. While checking the resistance on the sensors I found that the engine temp sensor was reading way too much resistance(48,000 ohms at 50 degrees F. when it should be around 5000 Ohms) and when half warmed up it would read infinate resitance for a moment and then go near normal. It mached my problem perfectly. Changed it and havn't had the problem since.
Also has anyone done work on the heater core? Mine has a small leak somewhere and I was wondering just how hard it is to remove. And can a radiator shop fix them or will I be better off replaceing it? It's not a bad leak. Just enough to smell antifreeze and get a little condesation on the windows but not enough to get water in the car.

Thad
