well get a new t-stat or just take it off and see if it helps. just don't run no t-stat at all.

Man that sucks... Good radiator, good thermostat, good tune, fan, bled system... Water pump? I've never had one go bad but what gives

Re: Over heating when cruising.
 

maybe invest in an aluminum radiator? theyre only like $120 or so. Also, Are you burning water out of your radiator or does the coolant remain full?

Smells like a head gasket might be in your future, or a retune of the vacuum/timing portion of the map.

Ya know, i was thinking head gasket too. the other day i did a 2nd gear pull and then stopped at a stop sign and smoke rolled out of my hood a little and i check under my hood and my reservoir had a little extra coolant in it. might just go ls vtec rather than a new mani first ;/ if im gonna tear it apart might as well start the next step.
