First question to ask is whether it did not do this in the past. If you
have driven it for several seasons without a problem, I would suspect
the thermostat is acting up.If you just started to drive this car, then
such things as missing air baffles in front of the radiator, a
thermostat that is not sleeved (per Nock's book), an improper v-belt
that rides at the bottom of the sheeve and a bad water pump.
