Overheating at idle

I ran the car this evening and found a ton of HOT air is just spewing from under the car. I suspect that a lot of this hot air is cycling back through the rad. I was going through some parts and noticed I haven't installed the splash guards yet. Not sure if thats going to be a game changer with airflow? I took some pics and in the green highlighted areas, would adding some panels to cover those areas be beneficial? I'm thinking maybe than hot air won't be short cycling back through the rad and seems like a lot of the newer vehicles have plastic that is covering this area.

You do realize that almost all of that plastic **** has fallen off most of these cars by now don’t you?

Again, you need to speed the pump up. Did you read the link Bewy gave in post 9?

You’ve been given the answer to correct your issue and yet you keep digging to find and answer that isn’t the answer.

Low speed cooling issues are almost always a coolant/air flow issue.

Speed up the pump.
