Default ok so the ride is overheating.... i know i know search search search BUT...
im not exactly sure what it could be right now. The thing is when the AC is on no problems, driving at high speeds no problem, but driving in traffic it goes one tick up... i know your all going to say "it's normal", but i have the feeling its not becuase it does it ALL THE TIME. I just had the TB/thermostat/waterpump/and greentop sensor replaced. Also when i turn off the car to run into a store or something when i turn the car back on the temp is almost 2 ticks above the middle... what could the problem be?! thanks everyone!

What t'stat did you put in? If it's ECS's, that is your problem, guaranteed.

Default sounds like one of the fan switches isn't working
if you turn on the AC it turns on the second cooling fan automatically, seems like it isn't being activated when the engine temps are up tho.

You "just" had this work done, and the shop is out of business?!
