First, take out the thermostat completely and see if the issue still occurs. If not, bad thermostat. (Yes, they can be brand new and bad) Second, loosen the radiator cap or pull up the release lever if so equipped. Check issue, if not occurring get a new cap. If yes replace cap. Check the temp at both the inlet and outlet hoses on the radiator. Should be 2 different readings. If there is a major difference I would remove the radiator and try flushing it in both directions as you could have tubes restricted. I know this will sound stupid but not meant to be, make sure the hoses on the water pump are on correctly and not reversed.Oh crap, I see this is a very old thread. My bad, but perhaps it will help someone else since it doesn't state if the issue was ever resolved.</blockquote>
