Sign In Hey all, I have a 92 topaz and if I drive somewhere kinda far with no stops the car is fine, but whenever I go to a few places "stop and go" it starts overheating.. Coolant levels are fine, as is oil levels. Im thinking ither bad hoses or water pump? Any help is appreciated! Thanks.

When you are driving there is enough air going though the radiator to keep the car cool. When you slow down or stop so does the air. The fan should come on after the car sits and idles for a while after the car has reached normal operating temp.

Thanks Matt Jeff Norfolk Enthusiast May 4, 2009, 4:32 PM Post #4 of 5 (2191 views) Re: 1992 Mercury Topaz Overheating.. Sign In It is not real hard. What you need to do is run it at idle till the fans come on or it starts to get hot. Then check the plug that gosina the fan. It will probably be a two wire plug. One for power, one for ground. If you have power and ground but no fan than the fan motor is bad. If no power and ground than it could be something else. Like a fan relay, fuse ect. Probably the fan motor is bad(this is the most common) but it would not hurt to check first. Jeff Matt11b New User May 5, 2009, 7:12 AM Post #5 of 5 (2179 views) Re: 1992 Mercury Topaz Overheating..
