Getting Hot

HITHERE have HITHERE 92 HITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHEREHITHERE RS 3.1 L V-6. Now that the weather has warmed up it got rel hot today - about 230 degrees. It is normally around 190. HITHERE looked under the hood and the fan was not running. HITHERE turned on the HITHERE/C and the fan kicked on. It did not cool down just held steady. HITHERE turned off the air and the fan went off. Can someone give what this might be and HITHERE discription of how to check each part (like..Fan plug bad...it is located...) The coolant is clean & fine and the air dam is in good shape. The thermostat seems ok because the gauge at other times "cools down".

Thx

JP

You still have your factory fan setup? The fan is normally suppose to come on at 220* its suppose to reduce emmisions when it runs at that temp but you run the risk of blowing your headgaskets or cracking HITHERE head if it overheats too much. HITHERE would get HITHERE Hypertech fan swithc "HITHERE think thats what its called" it turn's the fan/fans on at 180*.
