So today after about a week after my intake ordeal my car has been runnin better than ever and ive been enjoying my upgrades and can definately feel the difference until yesterday on my way home from work i scanned my gauges and took a double take at my temp gauge. Not good. 210 and slowly climbing. Until that nite my car had been running a consistant 165-175 at the farthest margin and now couldn't stay cool. Brand new thermostat, no hose leaks at all, filled coolant, and all temp sensors double checked for being hooked up and correctly. As long as ive owned the car its never overheated or needed the secondary fan to kick in till now. Im thinkin a sensor may be going bad or the water pump may be goin out. Theres the possibility of the thermostat but its brand new and i don't think it would go. Jus started troubleshooting so im going to go take a good look but was jus wonderin what everyone else thought or if they have had the same problem and had advice. N e things appreciated. Much thanks

Probably an air pocket in the cooling system. Try bleeding it again. If you want to test the new stat, put it in a pan of water and turn up the heat to see if it opens.

Where you running a 180 degree looking at your 165-175 comment... The part store might have sold you a 195, which is stock rating... The temp then might go up to 210, but should come down alittle...
