Have you checked the radiator cap to ensure it is opening at the correct PSI? Also, a correct antifreeze/water mixture will raise the boiling tempurature to the proper tempurature. I would also suggest checking the thermostat as you mentioned. One final item. Since your Breeze is a 1997, has the head gasket been replaced with the multi-layered "MLS" gasket? If there is a leak in the gasket, the exhaust can force coolant back into the recovery bottle. Eventually, the cooling system will be low. This happened on my 1990 Dodge Spirit with a 2.5L engine. -Kirk Matheson |
