check your radiator. When i bought mine it was quite rusted, causing it to overheat all the time. threw a new radiator in, new thermostat, and problem solved.

i replaced the radiator about a year ago someone told me it could be the thermostat that i replaced since i got the cheaper one...the car makes a wistle sound when you hit about 40 50 mph and goes away when u give it gas, could this have something to do with it?
