Running Temps



Today was the first really hot day of the season here in Southern California, 
with the mercury exceeding 90 degrees, and I decided it would be a good test 
for the Imperial for the months yet to come. I decided to take it to work and 
see how good the cooling system was really working. My drive to work is about 
20 miles, mostly freeway driving. I started out and the temperature was 
staying around 160 degrees for about half the trip, but then steadily started 
climbing to 190 degrees, where it stayed until I exited the freeway and took 
surface streets for the final three or so miles. While at stoplights I 
noticed temperatures going up to 200 degrees, and by the time I got to work 
the temperature was around 210 degrees while stopped. On the way home tonight 
temperature stayed at 160 most of the way, climbing to 190 by the time I was 
exiting the freeway, and staying there till I reached home. My question is, 
is it normal for these types of fluctuations in hot weather? I was getting a 
little uneasy when temps started soaring to 210. I am seriously considering 
taking the car to a radiator shop to have it routed out.
