The MM was overheating while idling. Searched MM.net, found a few suggestions to burp the system. Followed that advice, the problem appears to be fixed. Will confim over the next week.

THAT is why I financially support this site. (Flags)

Did you recently flush your coolant system? Not sure why it would all of sudden start to overheat...

Did you change your thermostat?

I haven't flushed the system, although I have been thinking about it. I'm guessing it happened because it was hot and I was idling for 20+ minutes. There was a TON of air in the system.

Changing the tstat might be a good idea.

Yeah, I have known air to get into the system after flushing but if yours started acting up just idling, I'd make sure to check and maybe replace the thermostat.

glad you got the air burped though!
