Question Its hot

Here in Kansas it is very hot lately and went I have driven my car for a while 30-45 min. the temp goes up to like 210 and runs so crappy. I don't remember the temp getting that high last year except for when my water pump when out and it went alot higher than that. Is it just the heat or is there something wrong with my car?

Well what kinda car do you have?? Well if you want your temperature to go down a bit you should buy an 160 or 180 degree thermostat for about 13 bucks . That should keep your temperature down a bit.

I have a 98, I thought that one of my fans was not working but they both were on and it still didn't cool it down the only time it cooled down was on the highway.

Cool

Go4Broke its b/c your water pump is movin the water faster along w/increased air passed the radiator fins,from the cars forward movement.The Man. fan switch you turn on at will,your own forward movement,when you want it.
