Series I intake problems will be just like any other car, it'll happen to some people under correct circumstances.
Series II intake problems are factory equipment.

It'* plastic, so it'* possible to damage if it gets too hot, nonetheless. The 180 stat should help.
I'm betting your thermostat isn't opening fully, or is partially restricted. Is the rubber o-ring installed right? The paper gasket? You may want to buy a higher quality tstat and swap it out again.
