On the highway today i was crusing around 80mph which is just above 3000rpm in 5th gear. I noticed that whenever i slowed down to 65-75mph; the car would begin to overheat and the temperature gauge would rise. Once i speed back up to 80mph it cooled off. After i got off the highway into a neighborhood it was overheating again so i floored it trying to get it back above 3000rpm again. Instantly the temperature gauge dropped all the way to the normal mark AFTER i floored it. Kind of strange? My coolant level isnt low
The only thing wrong is my bypass hose is kinked. But that shouldnt matter because its a bypass hose, if the thermastat opens that hose isnt even used is it? I know its on my list of things to get but my car has had this hose in it for a few weeks and hasent had a problem so im wondering if maybe somthing else has gone wrong? Anyways what should i start to check?
