    Hey guys I have a 2012 eco that's running hotter than normal for the last few months. I see temperatures on the smallest of hills of 220+ . I've replaced both water pumps, timing chain, spark plugs, serpentine belt, air filter and t stat. None of these things have fixed the problem. Anyone have a similar issue and have any ideas where to go from here?[​IMG]

    Are your cooling fans working? I'm assuming you checked for proper coolant level.

    I'm assuming just carbon or a by product from the combustion process. I know the ecos are pretty rich on startup

    Was the tranny over heating or the engine?
