I have a '99 with about 110K miles. The thermostat went out about a couple of months ago so I drained and flushed the system, replaced the thrermostat, and added new coolant. At the time, I didn't know there was a difference between orange and green coolant other than the color. (I know I'm stupid and should have at least asked the guy at Napa.) The heater never really put out HOT air but it was realy warm air. Last week, the engine started to over heat but would cool down if I ran the heater.
Anyway, I repeated the process last night with a new thermostat and GREEN coolant mixed 50/50. The engine is running at about 220 degrees. It seems too hot. During a long drive to work this morning I ran the heat again to help cool it down. HELP! I'm pretty clueless.
