Cooling issues, could use some advice
The hardest part for the cooling system is when the engine is running and the car isn't moving. The lack of airflow through the front end makes it difficult to cool. That's why they do the test where they park the front ends within 1 foot of a wall outside in Phoenix and idle for at least an hour to prove the design.
Lack of airflow through the front end/grilles makes it very difficult. It puts a heavy load on the cooling system. Without enough airflow through the front end, it is difficult to keep cool.
Any way to open up the grille opening? Or put an electric "pusher" fan in front of the radiator to help get air through it?
