Well when I drive to work its all freeway driving so its weird because it doesnt get hot at all but on my day off I was driving around town and it started to get really hot not in the red but getting up there I turned on my heater and that dropper the heat down then I was getting on the freeway and it went right back down to normal it has done this a couple of times has anyone had this type of problem my fluid is all the way to the top and Im probably going to change the thermostat this weekend just because its cheep but I want to know what you all think

 

are your fans kikin on???? drvin highway and city are different and a car has more chances overheating in the cit than it wood on the high way..... could b a fan.......water pump, but definately start with the thermostat

 

Search the forum first, then go check to see if your fan is turing on.

 

does the fan work? is the fan switch ok?
a helms will help immensely here. those symptoms are as if the fan is inop.

i just bought my radiator about 30 mintues ago. ive been wating this dual core forever, now at 99 bucks for a new one with lifetime warranty, had to jump on it

ive known about this upgrade for a while, but ive never actually gone through to getting it. however 2 days ago, my temp gauge was rising as i went uphill on the freeway, thats what pushed me to finally get it. check the thread out

 

thats a good buy but here is the deal , i have a single core, front mount and still have the ac. if it is overheating in the city and sitting still, and cool while cruising, there isnt anything bringing air over the radiator while still or moving slow. this is in the fan. no matter how big the radiator, if there isnt any air going over it it will not cool.

 

well thanks for the replys and help just wanted to give an update it was my coolant temp switch I checked the fan itself just by connecting it to the battery then per the chiltons ( I know I need to get helms ) you dis connect the coolant temp switch and check ohms across the pins this is when its cold you should have no continuity then warm the car up to operating temp and turn the car off and again check for continuity this time you should have continuity in my case I didnt and in no time did my fan ever come on I just bought the switch and will put it in tomorrow I know this is a pretty borring thread so Im pretty sure that its going to fix it but if you want me to post the outcome just let me know thanks again on a side note I did do a search I know this is only my first couple posts but I have reading HT for a long time
