Re: Overheating troubleshooting

Good to hear it was relatively minor! My '95 that I recently picked up was exhibiting this same behavior, and it too ended up being a cracked radiator. Seems like any leak in the system will behave this way, be it a radiator, cap, or head gasket etc.

For what it's worth, when the radiator cracked in my '97 I replaced it with a Silla radiator from eBay (around $115 shipped IIRC). It's been 5 years and almost 20k miles without issue thus far.
