Percolation? Heat soak? Don't drive during summer??

25-30 minutes of idling and revving and it didn't die, what a piece of crap... i ended up shutting it off because my wife was yelling at me that the whole house smelled like old car and that I needed to come in and eat. The temp guage was hitting 220 which is out of my comfort zone for the car as well, I wish it never got past 200* while sitting and idling, I think thats wishful thinking though.

I'm thinking the ballast resistor doesn't need to be hot as Satan's balls when the engine is running, so maybe I should start with replacing that first... the ecm wasnt to hot when I shut it down and neither was anything else... besides the ballast resistor
Personally I always pull it out of the garage or push it out of the garage before I start my car. It always stinks up the house if your garage is attached like mine.... I've had to have my wife help me push it back in when it won't restart or I have a problem like that...
