Noticed my temperature going up when sitting in traffic with the a/c OFF

and also

When going up steep inclines

The temperature returns to normal when I turn the A/C on or return to a flat surface

What could be causing this?

check yuh cooling fan an see if it coming on !!

yea it is.

Thermostat may be sticking closed to some extent. Remove it and run car to see if problem still exists then change if necessary.

when last did you flush out your radiator?

op yuh car losing any water way yuh have to top up regular??

wash down that car with lime and blue soap


but check your cooling system also check your maf/clean it
there is an airflow sensor on there when the maf is failing causes the temp guage to rise

First time hearing this so bear with me, is it an electrical relation to the gauge itself or an a/f ratio problem that causes the MAF to affect engine temperature?

shet yer pie hole
the maf has an Air Temp Sensor on it
when my maf was acting up my temp would rise for no reason in traffic but once moving it would be fine. change maf no more problem!

check your engine mounts, and color / scent of your transmission fluid.

The first two times I actually took the radiator out. But when I used the "rad flush" I didn't disconnect those lines.

BOY!!!! This car is to give away yes!!!! So it seems like both problems are solved...for now.

I flush the radiator about 5 times and everything seems nice and clean now. A/C blowing nice.

And I change plug wires to some good NGK ones and plugs...and car back to voom voom status.

Dese lil things that unrelated does get me vex boy.
