    My car is experiencing high temp problems. Normal temp should be between 1/4 to 1/2 of the guage. Lately, it reaches around 5/8 or above 1/2. What I did the last 2 times the temp went up was to spray the radiator fins ( not top ) with water and the temp went back to normal.

    Coolant is full and less than a year old, new radiator cap and new coolant sensor/thermoswitch. Both fans work. I think the thermostat works cause the upper radiator hose is hot.

    Can this be due to a blocked radiator?
