engine overheating......almost
i was sitting in a drive thru today when i rolled my window down it sounded almost like a coffe maker. i turned the radio down and found out it was my car. its a 95 240SX BTW. i looked at my temp gauge and it was getting near the hot mark. i then turned the engine off, until the car in front of me started moving. once i did that the sound was almost like a drain sound and when it stopped, i started it back up. it was only off for a few seconds. but then everything was back to normal.
i've had this happen before to a way worse degree. it turned out being the thermostat getting stuck. since it has happened before should i worry about it more or should i just keep driving it.

Something may be causing your thermostat to go bad, or you have a low fluid level (which means check for leaks). So basically check your fluid, and if it's good then replace your t-stat again.

im going to go with air in the system, if you didnt let the air out when you filled up the coolant, a whole lot of problems can arise such as overheating, looping idle, and for me i had 2 radiators pop
