Manolet,
I would check the timing to be certain that it is not to far advanced or that
something is allowing the timing to advance too far.
Has there been any work done recently on the car, especially with regard to a
turn up etc?
Also a too loose fan belt could be the problem (although unlikely as the wide
belt can be run real loose and still function well) or a restriction in the
Radiator itself.

Subject: Overheating in a TR4
Hi List,
My wife and I finally got to take our TR4 on a long trip yesterday.
Yahooooo! Man, it was FUN! Our group was composed mainly of Corvettes (6
cars), a Z3, a modified Miata and a Honda S2000. Being the smallest (and
the slowest) car in the group, we were at the tail-end of the pack. We'd
usually lose them on long straights but we'd eventually catch up in the
twisties (and traffic). It was definitely a great drive!
I did encounter a problem on our trip back though which I would like to
consult the list about. The engine appeared to run hot (almost
overheating)
when I'd run fast but it would slowly return to normal when I would slow
down. I'd check the water in the radiator whenever this would happen but
it
would alway be full. I had the auxilliary fan running throughout the trip
but this didn't seem to help much.
What could be causing this? Help ...
