This is my only car and I work full time and go to school full time, so yes I need it. Im not driving the car around expecting for the problem to go away.. I do check my coolant level everyday and its fine, I spent time in traffic everyday and the temperature does not move, the engine runs perfectly fine, it only does it when I stay on high rpms for long.. I'll do the pressure test this week
