Cooling Question Driving down the road , normal 80 degree day in Florida and poof , my temp shoots up to 265 and the car goes into reduced power mode .
I let it kool down and restart it and it goes wicked hot again .
I changed out the thermostat , that didnt help , changed the water pump and that didnt help , now im wondering about the radiator .
Fans are working fine , no blockage of radiator fins , everything seems to be fine and no leaks anywhere .
Anyone have this problem with LS1 vettes or camaro's ?

Try starting the car up and let it get alittle hot. Make sure that you loosen the radiator cap first though. Then get a thermometer and test the temp of the coolant to make sure that you sensor is operating properly. Kind of a longshot but easier than taking out the radiator.
