check your fan relay just a suggestion if your fan dosent cut on but double check and then check to make sure there are no kinks in any of the coolant lines i just got a swap done and had same problem all those were reasons for me and check to make sure none of them are leaking if not idk man hope this helps u out some

thanks man are you talking about the thing the fans plugs in to off the thermostat houseing ?

like he said, check the fans. If they are fine, check to see if there is actually coolant flowing through the system. If not, the system is probably clogged.

Actually, check your water pump, too.

How would I know if my water pump is bad?

there are weep holes on the side of the water pump it self it should piss it out of the holes....look on the ground on the drivers side of the engine....try to jump your fan by running + and - to the battery if the fan doesnt come on its the fan

theres no visual way you can tell unless its leaking thru the weep hole or cracked..mostly it just a regular service thing that is done when the timing belt is done so that you know you have a fresh pump..but if it was a bad pump it would stay hot, it wouldnt fluctuate another way you can tell if the pump went bad. once the engine get up to temp the thermostat will open to cool the enging down, during that time grab the upper rad. hose and feel for pressure the hose should be stiff and common sence it will be hot

another the system might have air pockets in it, try topping it off with fluids and while being done grab the upper rad. hose once again and shake it and squeeze it to push some of the air out..and this would be done with the car running but keep a eye on the temp guage sometimes it will over heat

another the guage cluster could be faulty the diodes mabe warn

i hope this help good luck

I think you're talking about fan thermoswitch. They go bad too, and could be a problem. They're actually the most common cause for overheating besides the obvious thermostat problems.

It could be air in the system also, but generally that's something that will stay static and not move around very much. Air (steam) can get much hotter than coolant can, and can also cause fluctuations in coolant system pressure. I'm not really convinced that is the problem though.

Thanks for all the help

if you jump the fan its easy get a piece of wire and run it from on side to the other of the theremostat plug and it will jump it the easyiest way
