So if the car had a head issue, would the temp drop from almost red zone to
normal like that by engine breaking down a hill?
BTW, I've been driving with forced open tstat now and the temp gauge reads
stone cold, even after a 15 minutes 65 mph highway drive. It will not budge.
Sent from my iPhon
Still not sure I understand why engine braking especially down hill would
lower temps dramatically.
Perhaps it causes an air bubble to dislodge?
Anyway, I just forced the tstat open with a piece of brass tubing. Let's see
what that does.
If I get no answers, I will take car to radiator shop. T
Yup, it's NOT fixed. I drove the piss out of it today and it was fine. The
lower rad hose started warming up indicating coolant circulation. No
overheating. Then went to a friend's house and on way back it started again,

Get well.
