1G N/T Idle problem

Looking at the temp guage it seems a bit on the high side, even for an inaccurate piece of junk. Id make sure you have enough coolant in it, and dont have any leaks once the system starts to build pressure. I'm guessing its getting a little too hot and the ecu is seeing a high coolant temp sensor reading and is dumping extra fuel in it, causing it to die.
 
Mad? do you mean MAF? I have changed new plugs and wires still same problem.

There is enough coolant, but now I see little leaking from my radiator... Is that could be my problem?
 
The funny thing... if hood is open my engine works ok. This happens only when hood is closed. I think something gets too much hot. Any ideas?

Thanks!
 
Yes I do run short ram. Is that because intake sucking hot air? Wrong ECU readings from MAF?
