When the car is warm, check the radiator for cold spots, indicating blockage.

you can find the t-stat at a NAPA store, or pretty much any parts store.

get a OEM thermostat, its cheap and comes with the gasket.
replace your waterpump, get the radiator flushed and cleaned out. You can have a bad waterpump and not have it weep out the weep hole. check the hoses and belts at the same time all said it will be $125-$150 or so and you will have a properly functioning cooling system. There is no need for a efan, there is something else wrong and just throwing things in the engine comparment is not the way to fix them. If you cant afford to maintain the car you should park it before you ruin it any further. |
ok ill get these things checked out

I have seen impellers in pumps go bad, basically the pump no longer pumps water it just spins, it only comes out the weep hole when the seals go bad.
