Okay here's the deal.
I was driving down the highway at 75. all of the sudden my temp gauge goes squirly. OVerheats to the point where overflow bin cap explodes off. then goes back to norm. occasionally temp gauge goes squirly sporadically moving between hot and cold. made it to my destination where i butchered my thermostat assuming that was the problem. I ran cool for about a day till i got a new thermostat. Now the problem hasn't been nearly as bad but i had it go a little squirly (not to such extremes) for a brief moment untill i let off the gas and it returned to temp. THen later it started to raise temp gradually till i let off the gas.
Any ideas of what could be wrong? Think my water pump is going maybe? What else could it be? Any ideas would be very helpful.
Thanks,
Luspher
