Overheating???????????????????
I have a '91 SE 5spd (VG) and I have been overheating a lot lately. I don't see any coolant leaks, and I changed the thermostat yesterday, but no difference. I saw the radiator fan come on yesterday, so I know the thermostat is working, but today it car was obviously hot and it did not come on. Anybody had this happen, or have any ideas?

Re: Overheating???????????????????
the radiatorfan is controlled by the car computer
so it can still be the thermostat and also check your radiator cap

Both Radiator cap and Thermostat have been replaced within the last 2 weeks

overheating
Same thing was going on with my 92SE 5 spd, if I left it idelling it would overheat. So I just did a radiator and engine flush (complete).
It now does not overheat in these Texas summers.
