when the fins get clogged with stuff it acts like this, and its not real easy to see or fix. you got to take the fans out and back flush the rad fins with the hose, soak it with simple green and flush it again. last time i did that to my bonnie a bunch of pollen came out. there was enough in there it was acting like yours. you should be able to see light from a shop light shine through once your done

i have seen the very odd cases were the fins of the water pump were actually starting to wear down and loses cooling efficiency. but that doesnt seem common
