SO i'm about to the end of my wits on this one...
the car is still getting warm at idle sometimes (about 3/4 of the way up sometimes almodt dips in the red...

All these things have been replaced in the last 8 months
radiator
water pump
thermostat
fan relay


I can hear the fans come on from time to time, is it possible they're only coming on sometimes?

its about driving me crazy, its getting hot outside and i can only drive it for about 15 mins or so in the heat before it starts acting up

can anyone help me??

 

If you've bled the cooling system properly after each of the mentioned replacements you possibly may have a blown head gasket.

 

sorry, forgot to mention the head gasket is not blown, we just checked it, and no symptons of it being blown, i can also drive it for hours at a time on the freeway as long as im getting air-cooled.

 

HOW did you check it?

 

well checked for oil in coolant and milky looking oil
theres also no white smoke coming from exhaust or anything like that..
is there a surefire way to tell??

 

NONE, I repeat, none of those symptoms are positive/negative indicators of a blown head gasket.
Compression test. Check for exhaust gasses in the coolant. Are you POSITIVE you have all the air out of the system?
