Re: overheating

could be but 1st i would look at the cooling system.
does the cooling fan come on?
have you tested/changed the thermostat?

Re: overheating

Once after I had some work done, this happend to me, the guy simply disconected the cooling fan, and didn't reconnect it, which caused overheating in traffic.
