1995 V6 MTX
Ported 2005 3L
Never had problems with the cooling of my car and it has 230k miles, temp gauge always rides right in the middle of "NORMAL", until now.
I have a 5 year old radiator, 3L water pump installed now for 3 years, and new coolant.
I havn't had AC for the last 5-7 years and finally had fixed all the components when I did my 3L 3 years ago. So this is my first summer in a long time with AC, if it matters.
Basically, here is the deal, the car was running perfectly normal until about 2 weekends ago when we took some long trips with the AC on and noticed the cooling issue:
-since 2 weekends ago, coolant temp rises to between the "M" and "A" with NO AC on and will climb to between "A" and "L" if I have to stop for a light. THE FANS NEVER TURN ON.
-during regular driving and I turn the AC on either regular or max, the fan closest to the passenger side is the only one that kicks on and it cycles for like 30 seconds on and then 30 seconds off.
-if I drive when the car temp is by the "A" and turn on the AC, the temp would keep going into the red zone on my gauge
.....
I pulled the black fan relay and replaced it and I pulled the green fan relay and replaced it. Still no difference in cooling performance.
Please help, I'm bummed out.
