Car has had issues with high temps before, previous owner theEZV had issues. He replaced the thermo, coolant temp sensor, fan relay, and replaced the fan unit with a lower mileage.
He concluded it was a bad fan since no problems occured after doing that work.
Ive had the car for a few months now, only had one issue with high temps while first getting it, threw the heater on and the temps dropped quickly.
Recently it has been getting a lot hotter. Ive looked at the coolant level and there is no visable change at this point. havnt checked the oil yet though.
Normally i drive with the heater on/ have had this issue till recently.
I will drive around fine, once i idle for a bit the temps will rise, even with the heater on full, with hot air coming out, it still overs as high. But once i start to rev the car, the temp starts to drop. come to think of it i should have tried turning the heater off and revving to see if the temps drop. I havnt looked to see if the fans come on yet since it just started happening.
but has anyone else seen this problem?
I was thinking its a circulation problem rather than fan problem at this point, Possible bad water pump? but wouldnt that cause overheating at all conditons?
Also i noticed this earlier, i parked the car and came back to move it and the temps said high, not sure if this is a recurring theme or just a one time thing though.
