Purchased car in 2008. In summer '08 I replaced hoses, thermostat, and water pump. Went through most of 2009 okay, replaced thermostat again in 2010. My car started to run hot today and I realized coolant was low. I had to run the heat full blast on the way to AutoZone to buy the coolant. I put the coolant in and sat in the parking lot with car in PARK with A/C running full blast. The temp never got above half. It sat running full A/C for over 10 minutes without a problem. So I put the car in DRIVE and pulled out to the light. By the time I got 500 ft away from the AutoZone, car temp was back up above 3/4. I again turned off A/C, rolled the windows down and ran the heat full blast in order to get home without overheating the car. Any thoughts at all?????????????????????
