the thermostat and two fan motors have been replaced. The radiator is two years old. The temp. still reads above center. It will almost go into the red then settle to just above center fluctuating between the two points. The radiator has been flushed and new coolant added. I had the intake manifold gasket replaced which solved the acceleration issue. Goodyear cannot find what is causing the overheating and said as long as its not in the red not to worry. I have seen some coolant leakage but they can't find that either.

I am assuming it was burped because it was done at goodyear. It was doing the same thing before I had the radiator flushed and the fans and thermostat and new manifold gasket replaced. Only it was more extreme.
I have noticed that the temp increases when the a/c is turned off. As soon as I turn it back on the temp goes back down but never to the right of middle...what does the a/c/ have to do with anything?
