I would first spray out the radiator with a water hose. Then I would make sure the radiator is topped off with fluids. If the over heating problem continues to haunt you then I would guess you have a tuning problem. Running lean will make your kfx run hotter than normal.

That light is a temp light and the FI light... Are you sure it's overheating? Could be a problem with the EFI.

Is it stock, or do you have any go-fast parts on it?

[cartykfx]

its completly stock

I have switched to running engine ice as my coolant and my fans hardly ever come on anymore. I'm always at the dunes all day and it stays nice and cool. Water Wetter is another good one to try as well.

Water wetter you probably can find at the local auto parts place, just picked some up at Napa today for the race car.
