Re: car overheating? (temp)
Mine recently did this a few weeks back. I just did a flush then let it run for a 15 minutes without the cap to let the air bubbles out and no problems sense then. I drove to Dallas and back (from Houston) and never had a problem.
Make sure you not losing water, check the cap to make sure it's good & the thermastat.

idling: no airflow through radiator unless fan turns on, so temps go up.
driving, air going through rad regardless of fan operation, temps go down.
