Well, yesterday I was on a date, and my car decided to over heat. I popped the hood, yada yada lots of steam..so I checked for leaks, and there was a leak in a heater hose, put a new bracket on it, and it didn't leak anymore..but for some reason the car's temp keeps fluctuating, and it gets close to red, but not too close..and then goes back to normal. When I stop and let it idle in park or neutral it's idling at a lower RPM than usual, maybe 500? It's normal is around 800-1300 and it's all shaky and kinda spity/nasty sounding..like its barely holding on. It's normally sooo clean and precise, it never misses a fire..but it's my baby, and I'm scared.. I checked for leaks in the radiator, but couldn't find anything..water is escaping somehow..I refilled it today, let it run for a little bit..and it wasn't acting up or anything..opened it back up finished filling it up, and let it sit there for about 4-5 hours turned off..I came out, no leakage or anything. It's still getting hot though..It's never done this before, and I just want to get an opinion on what's going on. Thanks guys!
