well... took my first highway pull...
It started to overheat. So i limped it home and stopped once to let it cool down on the way home.
so im thinking its:
A) the headgasket (i hope not and please no i told you sos)
B) Not enough coolent in the system
c) Thermostat stuck closed

It heats up incredibly fast from full cold to right in the middle in around a minute.

And i think the idle surging has to do with the coolent lines not being hooked up to the FIAV. So i will probably just block the FIAV off and call it good.
