Need to have system flow tested....possible blockage in cooling system. Likely location in the heater core. Does the heater produce good heat? If not, issue should be there.

Possible radiator as well. Look into the the cost of a new one or having yours cored out. Weigh the cost of both and time to get the rad out and cleaned and remounted (aka downtime). Rockauto is a good place for price but takes a while to get them.

Have a 88 Dodge Shelby Lancer that had cooling issues. Dropped the rad. out of engine and got it cored out. The shop said it leaked like a sieve, meaning damn thing was way on it's way out. Replaced with new one and no further issues and dumped in royal Purple cooling temp. reducer. I alwayas read my posts before submitting them.

I did not want to scare them, am doing it to 3 Pt's with turbo. One for valve guides, other 2 leakage air thru pistons.

Check for operation of your radiator fan. If it doesn't work this typically is an indication of a failed fan motor. Replace immediately.
