over heating at idle.
over heating at idle. my car is constantly right under 210, it always has been, but this week sitting at a drive thru, and sitting in my car it has over heated.
I added some coolant this morning, checked to see if both fans went on (with a/c car cold, both fans went on) I turned off the a/c both fans went off, car got to 210 and stayed there, fans didnt go on, but it didn't get any hotter.
At what temp should the fan to cool the radiator go on? I have a stock thermostat, I was thinking about getting a 160, but the car is basically stock for the second, so I'm not going to jump on the 160 band wagon.
Thanks for the input guys.

Other than that, really the only other thing that just comes out of nowhere and makes you all of sudden overheat......sticking/failing t-stat.
Get the 160 and also have the PCM porgrammed to turn the fans on sooner......it will help a stock engine too.
