[Shotimes] Cooling Problem

[Kevin & Cheryl Airth]

Rich:
 If the fan is running at all, maybe you have some clogging in the radiator.
This is very common on cars that don't have the anti-freeze changed regular.
Any idea when it was last changed? Radiator still original? Have you changed
the radiator cap? They are almost always bad and if yours is not holding the
correct pressure in the system, cooling will suffer. How old is the
thermostat? Are you starting to run warm in traffic or what is the exact
problem? Lastly check for debris, especially between A/C condenser and the
radiator. It's not that big of a space and I have seen a good bit junk
collect there!
