May be a bad thermostat. Try going on a hilly road and under a heavier acceleration but with no ac. It it overheats again its the thermostat. If the outside temp is 70+ (22+ Celsius) and your thermostat is stuck on semi-open, it will overheat. I had a similar issue one of last summers couple years ago when the engine warmed up pretty quickly (to 1/2 on the gauge) engine didn't overheat unless going uphill for a long time. If that won't work, I'd check the ac for some restrictions. |

Mine would overheat on a steep hill when I bought it. A bad OEM fan clutch was the cause. |
