[intriguehatesme]

i cant figure out whats causing my intrigue to overheat. when i first got the car a few months ago if you were sitting with the heat on it would start to overheat but when you turned the heat off it would automatically cool down. now it overheats randomly, from what i can tell the water pump is working fine so i thought it was the thermo. i removed it to see if it would stop the problem and it didnt and i havent put it back in yet. im not losing water anywhere that i can see.

the car will drive fine for a day or 2 then decide it wants to overheat. it builds up a lot of pressure, seems like its more then it should build up to the point where all the hoses are so hard you cant squeeze them. if i open the resevoir and release the pressure the car will automatically cool down and is driveable again.

does anyone know what i should try to solve the problem or how to further troubleshoot so i can get this fixed? this is starting to get annoying. thanks!!!
