My car drives and acts fine in any temperature under 75 degrees. Over 75 degrees, if driven in for more than 20 miles in heavy traffic, rush hour traffic some normal speeds than slow and go traffic, the engine temperature start heading to the danger level. Once a normal driving speed is reached again, the temperature drops back dowm. i am not running the AC and find that craking the interior temperature and fan up seems tohelp cool the engine. Once I reach a destination, the car will start normally if it sits for no less than 5 minutes. Over that time and less than 45 minutes later, it will sputter, shake and act like it wants to stall, like it is not getting gas. Once I get the vehicle moving, it will run normally.
