Hi Guys,
What if I do not solve the overheating problem did my car
new changing parts: thermostat, radiator, water pump(airtex), Radiator hoses, cylinder gasket, mechanic fan, electrick fan...
The temperature of the vehicle are rising at idle and gradients,
I did flush today, I put new antifreeze(no air bubble) but problem not solved,
No traffic problems on the road(99C-100C) I stopped at the temperature rising (101C-105C). This problem was not previously,
I'm so depressed I can not find solution can you help me ? What do you think I should do ?
Thank you..

@inan What's the outside temp? Did you verify your electric fan comes on? 221F doesn't seem unreasonable as long as the e fan kicks on and brings it down. Make sure you're testing temperature with an infrared gun or thermocouple on the water pump housing next to the coolant temp sensor. Maybe a new one of those?

Well that's great news man! Good luck with the new build. Definitely start a thread, man.
Most likely a loose wire or a connection going bad. Check all the wires on the harness going between the battery and relays. It's most likely in there. If it's not, check the rest of them.
Mine do this every now and then because I need to replace the ring terminals where I have it connected to the battery.

Start there.

Quick question, i've already gone and looked for potential gremlins causing the problems. Recently I've noticed some clicking when turning my 2000 xj, it's occured in probably about the last month. Another post said that it could likely be u-joints or wheel hubs or potentially anything in the front steering that would have any bit of play to it. I immediately went out this morning to check and the tie rod, when i twisted it back and forth had some play. should it have a small bit of play or could this be the culprit? my jeep's currently at about 140k with almost all parts in the steering being stock as far as I know, no heavy usage and was well cared for before i got it about 3 years ago. Thanks for the help!
