put a/c on if fans come on you know that fuses and fan motors are ok, if they do not come on with a/c off anf engine warmed up ,could be a fan switch

here is what i did, i went and bought new radiator cap(mine looked a little beat), and refilled my coolant reservoir(it was empty) now the car is running normal again....i guess the pressure inside radiator was leaking out making my thermostat open at a lot higher heat pressures....hopefully that was solved...

btw both of my fans work fine.
