cooling problem from hell, part duex!

once again i think i may have got it, 2fastLx and i pulled the radiator and put hose to it, it was flowing like crap, poured some Muraitic acid in and cleaned it out really well, put the hose to it again and it was flowing a hell of a lot better, got it all back in and it stayed cool, drove it all the way back home the next day about another hour, and it was fine all the way till i got off the exit about 10 min from my house, temp went up for a short time and also lost heat, i guess lost flow for a minute, then was fine again, drove it an hour later and did the same thing whenever i got on it, came back and ran it with the cap off and topped off the radiator, drove it and it was fine, the cleaning of the radiator really helped but i think i need a new one to REALLY fix the problem
