Ok so everything was fine until i broke the electric connector to the fan when replacing the harmonic balancer for the second time. I figured this out the first time the car over heat and then the second time i zip tied it tight.
For a while on my drive to work the temp will quickly spike to the L on the stock gauge and then slowly drop back down to just under the O and then be fine for the rest of the drive. That was until recently.
Now it over heats after moving for a while. The only way i can stop it from over heating is keep the rpm's at about 3k while driving.
The upper radiator house is hot so i think the t-stat is fine.
Steam is now coming out of the end tanks of the radiator when it's really hot so i know it's actually over heating.
I can hear the fan when i park so it must be turning on.
I'm going to Napa tomorrow to get a new Belt as the one i have is crazy loose and old so i figure it's a good place to start. But what else could be causing this?
