this is a continuation of "running hot":

i rarely drive longer than 20 minutes w/o getting on the freeway. but it happens always after 20 minutes of highway. just goes up until i relent and push the heat lever of the air on. i don't turn on the blower just let it vent into the car, then it goes down for a while but then pretty much back up. i am moving to ny this weekend, by car, so outside temp. will not be as much of a problem.

i just took it in today to a mechanic to look over the issue. told him what i knew and asked him to make sure the timing was 20 dtdc. i'll hear tomorrow. i did make it from nj to az w/ the car in the same condition 2 years ago. actually that was before a new thermo.

thanks for everyone's help so far. i'm doing what i can in my short time frame.
