Best Answer

When the car reaches normal operating temperature, open the hood and see if the radiator fan is running or starts to run before the engine runs hot. If the fan doesn't come on, the problem is either a bad relay or fan motor. If the fan comes on but engine still runs hot, problem may be thermostat stuck in closed position, faulty water pump, low/no coolant, or clogged radiator.
