Hey,

I drove the car for about 15 minutes. It was a hot day, almost 90 Fahrenheit. The temp gauge was showing about midway between 80 and 100.

I stopped the engine. The belt stopped immediately but the fan behind the radiator continued to spin freely for about 3 or 4 seconds afterwards. The fan in front of the radiator was not moving when the car was idling.

Does this indicate a bad fan clutch? I kind of thought the cooling fan normally didn't do much once you're up to highway speed, but the engine definitely gets hotter going up a hill even at highway speed.

Thanks for any advice

Tim
