2G Eclipse GST overheating issue

[Velmin hu]

My car just recently started showing a hot temp. It does not go into the "danger zone" on the temp guage and it fluctuates while I am driving and sitting in traffic. It hovers between normal and about halfway to the "danger zone". Sometimes it will go up or down when I am driving. Sometimes it will go up or down when I am sitting in traffic. There doesn't seem to do one thing or the other consistently. I checked the coolant and it is full, however when I opened the hood after shutting the car off, I heard a "bubbling" sound. Like boiling water. Any ideas?

engine has 80k miles stock intercooler evo 16g big, down pipe, 550cc injectors

Have you check your radiator conditions? Also are the fans turning on,.

When the car is warmed up check the radiator to see if it’s not clogged, remove both bolts on the of the radiator and move the top of the radiator towards the front, you will beat able to stick your hand behind the radiator to touch it, if it’s clogged you will feel cold spots on the radiator panel, if Tere is cold spots then radiator is no bueno.

Fans turn on when I press AC button and when I turn heater on no ac button fans don’t turn on

Try a new radiator cap also, when its idling make sure you witness the fans cycling on and then off.

Ok will do so fan should be turning on with turn on ac button or heat on correct? It’s stays at middle most of the time

No it should come on without the ac or heat on when it gets to operating temp.

I don’t think it does but I will let it idle for 10-15mins to test it out with out ac or heater on thanks

Just watch the gauge and dont let it overheat during the test.
