overheating.
when i sit at idle for a long period of time say in the high school parking lot waiting for the busses to get out of the way or at a train crossing. my temp will climb and climb when i start moving again or shut 'er down then it will fall. do i just need to get a bigger fan OR try water wetter or somthing? any ideas.

does it have a fan shroud on it, if not id be finding one, because that will surely cause it to overheat, if it does have a shroud, an electric fan may do the trick, or one of them flex-a-lite fans with a think 6 or 7 blades may help, hopefully its not something internally wrong, good luck
