    I have a 180* thermostat in and it seems like my car remains at a normal temp until I accelerate. I'm not just talking crazy acceleration either, any acceleration the temp goes up and will only come back down if I have a long coast. It seems like when I accel the temp just keeps getting higher and higher. If I drive a constant speed the temp will not increase and like I said will go lower if I have a long time to coast. The temp will pass 210* on my gauge and I can feel the upper hose bubbling at idle or stops once the temp has gotten that high.

    I have changed the thermo and all the hoses. The outside temps have been over 100* , anywhere in between 100-112* for 14 straight days now.

    Am I crazy or is there something wrong here?
