- Tue Sep 08, 2009 2:40 am #142307 hello, I have a problem with my car, sometimes when the revolution of rising above 4000rpm, the engine temperature rises rapidly and then when the rpm goes down, the temperature returns to normal, and sometimes the engine revolution is not stable she wanders between 1000 rpm and 2000rpm, I thought the thermostat do its could be the problem?

- Tue Sep 08, 2009 12:47 pm #142350 I have been told that air pockets in the coolant can cause bouncing idle, and that can definitely cause your overheating.

I'd fill the coolant/bleed the system and see if that does it.

- Fri Sep 11, 2009 2:58 am #142993 same prob with my car! i drained the coolant and tried to drove it around but still everything s d same. heats up when it is 4000rpm above hehhe gonna try to change my radiator to 2 rows or the thermostat maybe stock up. lolz any advice guyz/?

- Fri Sep 11, 2009 3:27 am #142999 to extend the life of your radiatior, only use distilled water if you make your own coolant mix
All the minerals and such will cause scale buildup, which will lead to a clogged rad and overheating.

But i have definitely heard of air pockets causing an idle prob as teal_dx stated.
make sure you bleed it really good as well.
