So I bought a bighorn in canada a few months ago and its been running pretty good either than highway driving (speed sensor is broken and really hard to find a decent priced one here) I was sitting at a park yesterday after doing some errands in town and shut off the engine for a bit. When I fired it back up and drove out of the parking lot the problem started to occur. Out of nowhere the temp rose very high (almost in red) and oil pressure started dropping slowly. the temp will fluctuate very little but will stay hot though. When i started it this morning temp was fine for about 5 KM and same thing happened. Took it to the shop and mechanic checked the fan was pulling enough air, belts are all tight so no slipping of the water pump pulley. Anyone else had an issue like this? I flushed the rad just a couple weeks ago to help prevent something like this from happening but it didn't do much i guess.
