<![CDATA[CL overheating issue]]>So, my Acura 2.3 CL tempature gauge climbs almost into the red when I'm sitting at stop lights or in drivethrus a majority of the time. As soon as I start moving again it drops back down to a normal level. I haven't seen any coolant leaks or puddles, and the coolant level is normal. Any clues at too what the problem is? thanks.

I had that problem too in one of my old cars. I was sitting in the drive thru at McDonald's one hot afternoon and ended up overheating and having white smoke everywhere.
