1996 Civic CX. While idling, such as in a traffic jam, if I let the engine idle the temp needle starts climbing and will keep climbing, would probably go all the way up if I let it. But if I rev it up and keep it revved for a few seconds, it will go up just a bit more, then start going back down to normal. After a few minutes, it starts the cycle again of getting hot. Any ideas of what is causing this? My first thought is thermostat, but would it really only stick at idle then release once the engine is revved?
It has a new radiator and radiator cap from a previous repair, and the fans come on as they should.
