TII overheating + high idle - help ASAP

I just bought a TII and after driving it a while the engine temp started rising and stayed about 3/4 the way up the gauge. It also likes to idle around 1300-1500. Anyone know what this could be? Please don't say the engine is toast because it apparently has a new engine a few thousand miles ago.

Thanks.

my N/A was having some overheating problems last weekend, turns out my thermostat was stuck closed.

check your thermostat, flush the radiator, and then if it doesn't fix it get a new radiator.

Well, welcome to TII idle problems. Happens a lot.
Check the TPS also. There is a how-to on www.fc3s-pro.com
