I currently have the same problem. I notice that the cooling fans don't
activate until the coolant temperature is near 220ºF. The car operates
perfectly while being driven on the highway.
I am going to check the current from the coolant temperature sensor
that controls the fans and research to see what values should be read
from the sensor. I suspect that this is where the problem lies.
It looks like a pain in the **** to change the thermostat.
