car running hotter than normal at idle...
Thursday, July 26, 2007 8:20 PM
noticed my 2000 cavalier z24 seems to heat up a lot when sitting and idling in traffic .... car normally runs around the 90 C but when up there and then you stop and idle the temp will climb and doesn't seem to go down until i get back up to speed. Temp has been 30 + with humidex 40+ a couple days almost 50. My fan does turn on and run.

Im just curious if this is something i should be worried about. I really hate it running that hot, but dont want to be sinking a ton of money into it when its only a few weeks out of the year that its this hot here.
