It also gets very hot (into the yellow) each morning before coming down to a normal range. I pulled the thermostat out last week hoping that it was just bad, (boiled it and it was fine). Reinstalled the thermostat, no improvement since. This weekend I replaced both radiator hoses and waterpump. Car is still overheating. The only thing left I can think of is the radiator.

If just one fan in this it should be on with A/C or defrost request. If two one may wait but you should be sure they are working as designed, T kjackson New User May 13, 2007, 10:44 AM Post #3 of 4 (2394 views) Re: 96 Sunfire overheating Sign In One fan, and it is working properly, what are my options with the radiator?

If it's corroded in or out a new one is the best option, T   Email This Post   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
