Re: Overheating

My first guess would be a blown HG. It sounds a lot like it. Bad radiator cap would also cause it, as would a bad water pump. I had a car with a bad head gasket give similar readings to yours, it was a bit low in #2, but not much. When I pulled it off it was obvious though. Take the car for a short drive and be really nice to it, bring it back and see if the coolant is bubbling out.

You can also check the water pump by pulling out the T-stat and leaving the coolant a little low. Start the car from cold and see if the coolant is moving by. The water pumps in our cars are usually really good and start leaking if they have a problem.
