great its not working again. ok so check it out, i was driving around and the temp on stock gauge spikes to near H. then it drops back down to normal. my electric autometer gauge usually reads 150 when the stock gauge says optimal temp. but when that spike happens, it goes slightly pass 150. and when the stock gauge drops it decides to drop too, to about 125. when i got home, rolled into the garage and popped the hood. the coolant reservoir is overflowed?? WTF?

Sounds like an air bubble or something in there... you aren't losing coolant anywhere are you?
