alright. my problem is the radiator fan motor made a weird sound and went out and my car started to overheat a little bit.. didnt reach the H but it was up there. soon after i found out i bought a new radiator fan motor i installed it. it works and theres no more weird noise..but the car still gets hot but only around 2:30 in the afternoon or depending how long im driving with the A/C on since that is like the hottest part of the day..and this only happening when i use A/C. today it was sky rocketing to the H so i blasted my heater and it quickly fell back to a little lower than normal temperature. i keep asking everyone what could be the problem..some people said get a new head gasket? thermo stat? water pump? im also thinking water pump because the water level dropped from last time i marked it. if you have any suggestions please post. i dont want my teg to overheat on me :(


oh and the temperature only rises when the car is not moving and i have my a/c on..so basically every stop sign and stop light i come to in the middle of the day it starts to scare me.

Does ur a/c fan turn on when ur a/c is on? When it overheats do u hear the water boiling?

if your radiatior fan or your condenser fan is not turning on it would explain the problem. Especially since its only when the car is sitting

yes, they are both turning when i checked underneath the hood with A/C blasted..

when it rises i usually rev the engine to 1000 RPM to keep the temp at normal.. it really sucks..

not going to read it. but based on the title alone & the amount of text you wrote, head gasket is my guess for tonight, I'll look at this monday & actually read it/give a legitimate guess then, lol.
