No cap coolant spray evident
If AC on.. generally worse (or AC temp goes up from 40's and 50's to 80's!)
Gauge going up to red.. then back down near normal.. no obvious reason
But, later when cooler outside (85 degrees F).. still goes up a little with AC off!
Seems the only intermittent explanation.. could be THERMOSTAT???

HELP!!! Any Ideas Appreciated

Jim
Try a thermostat....but how many miles are on your water pump?
