This is just a reminder to everyone. I had put new hoses,pump and thermostat in my car along with a dual fan control thermostat set to turn on at 175-180° Nothing I did would stop the car from heating up to 200-210 when idling in traffic on a hot day however.

I decided one day to paint my radiator support and nose, so i had to remove the elec. fans and the rad itself. What do you know the space between the radiator and the AC condensor was completely full of leaves! No wonder i had cooling issues. I cleaned out the leaves and blew compressed air through the ac and the radiator.

Now the car idles at 165° (thermostat setting) and when driving barely goes off of 160°. Talk about overlooking the obvious, I am forced to run a 180 stat now to compensate and had to turn my fans back up a bit to 190-195°.

Might be helpful to someone else stuck up on cooling problems.
