Kristen, Intermittent overheating might signal an electrical problem. It could be that one or both cooling fans are not coming on when they are needed. There are a number of components that could be at fault. The easiest cure would be if the fan control bypass has come loose or blown a fuse. This is in the relay compartment, near the passenger side door. Go to the DMCNews 'zine page: http://www.dmcnews.com/zine.html and download Issue #1 for free. It might contain the cure. While you are there you should download the other two free issues and print them out. Your boyfriend will be eternally grateful. - Mike Substelny
