So 10 seconds later I start the car up and sure enough I hear the fan blown away. I sat in the car at idle for about 5 minutes and I encountered no real issues. The needle only reached the 90 degree line or so, but never breached like previously.

Then I decided I would go ahead and flush the radiator while I was at it, and to my relief the fluid wasn't too bad, some specs of things here and there, but no traces of oil like residue. Filled her back up and it appears to be cooling even a little bit better even after fixing the fan.

Still while sitting at a stop light for a little while the A/C isn't as ice cold as I would like, but I can settle, it still blows cold, just not ice. Plus I realize what car I am dealing with.

Still have the transmission flush to do, thats next on the list. I'll let you know how that one goes.


The AC at idle in these cars is mediocre at best, even with R12. Be sure to have tint, this helps greatly.

Also, verify your fan clutch is working, the condenser is clean (the fins) along with the radiator.
