here is another for ya.
my 91 non turbo automatic has started overheating recently. sort of..
as i drive, the tempurature at the dash slowly climbs. until just at the point of redlining.
if i highway drive it stays down about 10 degrees from redline. but city driving after about a half hour and it's up there.
when i park, i can hear it bubbling in the overflow tank. but its not hot enough to boil over, or steam coming out.
my first thought was thermostat, as was my mechanic.
russ asked if i had checked the fan? is the fan running when the car is hot?
he told me to unplug the fan from the temp sensor and see if it comes on.
so, while working on the distro, i did that.. unplugged from the temp sensor.. no fan.
drove yesterday, car got hot, like normal. turned the car off. no fan.
so.. i dont remember, what is my next step? how do i know if its the fan or the fan relay or the temp sensor, etc...
is there an easy or cheap way to test any of the above without just going and buying part after part hoping to fix it?
