A while ago I was running my car pretty hard. Ran first gear till the fuel cut off a few times in one day. The next day I was spewing clouds of white smoke out from the exhaust, and car wouldn't hold idle on cold start. So I adjusted the icv, and got the idle to about 900-1000 rpm. After I did so the exhaust stopped spewing white smoke, and my car started running normal like nothing happened.
After which I did an oil change and flushed the radiator. Now when I sit in idle for an extended period lets say like in traffic the engine temps start to rise to dangerous levels. However, when I start driving engine temps drop down to normal.
I checked for any leaks, and only found a small amount of fluid dripping out of the radiator overflow. I checked the oil, and there's no coolant in the engine. Vis versa for the radiator I found no oil mixing with the coolant.
Any Ideas?
Spark Notes:
Ran hard = white smoke from exhaust/hard idle on cold start
Tinkered w/ the ICV, and all went back to normal (as in no more smoke)
Changed all fluids (oil/radiator)
Now overheats in extended idle. (traffic)
Engine temps drops down to normal when driving
No leaks except overflow from radiator.
No fluids mixing in oil or radiator.
ANY IDEAS?!
