I always thought this was the opposite where if the radiator cannot get enough air across it then the coolant temp climbs.
Faster rpms will spin the fan and keep the temp down.
Highway should provide plenty of air across the radiator and engine.
I have an nice 180 degrees in traffic, driving 40 in town.
I take the car out on a road of 55 and the temp climbs to over 200 to 210.
Now I DID replace the water pump with a brand new one and there are two belts driving the water pump.
Any ideas as to why this is happening? Thanks AZ
