next time you are stuck in traffic and the engine starts to get a little hot, try revving the engine higher (aprox 1200-1500 rpm) this will make the water pump push more coolant through the system and the engine temp will go down, even on a very hot day. It is counter intuitive to run a hot engine faster but it works.
