I need help diagnosing this issue,
Last month my stock radiator blew up and I drove it home for about 10-15 minutes the hottest it reached was 235... Now I replaced it right away with a CSF OE Radiator and replaced the thermostat. Now the car runs hotter as in at idle it reaches to 205 but the fans kicks on and knock it down to 195 same goes with the intake it runs about 20-30 above ambient temp before none of this was happening, it never got past 195 & the intake temp never got over 15 above ambient. I am thinking could it be the radiator not able to keep the car cool enough?
