Hey guys,

My wagon has a serious overheating problem...after it has fully warmed up if I leave it idling or have to sit in traffic for 15 min or more the temperature starts to raise rapidly. I can combat this somewhat by running the heat full blast which isn't too unpleasant now, but it will get old very fast in the summer. The T-stat in the car is reasonably new, the radiator fins are not clogged and the radiator itself has no obvious blockages. I also recently replaced the heater core. I find it hard to believe that there is a blockage in the engine itself because it was replaced in September, and the problem remains. I can't think of anything else to check. I'm considering wiring in dual electric fans to come on at a preset temp, but I'd like to get to the bottom of the problem rather than just putting a band-aid on it. Any ideas?

Thanks,
