JC,
I'm not sure you are out of the woods just yet. If I follow what you
are saying is the cause - incorrect replcement of the air filter
housing - its not clear to me how this could cause an overheating
problem...
In any case, recheck the coolant level a few times to make sure the
mechanic correctly topped the coolant level (there is a small bleeder
screw that you remove to let the air escape out the backside as you
are adding coolant to the tank. Try running the heater in the
morning when its cooler. After the EV is warm and the heater is
running, open the hood and check the coolant level, it should at
least at the minimum level.
Hope you have it solved.

HI ALL:
I think i have fix the problem. On Satuday, I went to
a mechanic, they replace the following.
1.) thermostat
2.) 3 pcs swtiches for Fans
3.) Flush the radiator.
The labor is $ 60.00 and a total of $ 121.00.
Now they also adjusted the timing. But when I went
home It still overheating. So I waited for the engine
to Cool Down.
After 2 hours. I check every sinle wire on the engine.
Few weeks ago, I have a Complete Tune-up. Almost every
single wire is OK. Then I check the AIR FILTER. GOT
IT!! The Air filter Housing is not properly snap.
After I secure the clips. I did not have any problem.
SO THE AIR FILTER DID IT!!
THANKS YOU VERY MUCH FOR YOUR HELP!

JC,
Need more info, so the temp gauge just started
showing this? Is it
happening in city driving? Towing? in hot weather
only? Is your
coolant level low? what happens when you run the
heater when its at
230? Do you know if the fans work? ...
