I had a 1994 Grand Am SE and it had the same problem. The fan is probaly not working. When you are going down the road, air enters the front of the car and helps cool the radiator and engine down. When it is sitting the fan should come on. It could be a relay, but it probaly the fan. We had the fan replaced and that fixed it. i had that problem too. if you have the know how you can hook up your existing fan straight to the battery to see if it is indeed a relay or the actuall fan. if your fan still works then try the relay. you can also hook up your fan to a toggle switch inside the vehicle, or run it to a switched hot terminal in your fusebox and it will run as long as the car is on. I also had the same problem I just took the fan out cleaned it and oil and greesed up the motor and insie and now it works fine. I had that problem too, I changed the engine coolant, and somehow that fixed the problem.

It would be wise to do so if you are having overheating problems.

You are having a overheating problem. You failed to mention a description of the car. If it has an electric cooling fan then you need to be sure it is working.

A leak could potential cause the issue you describe and still keep the engine from overheating. I would suggest having the cooling system pressure tested for leaks and having any leaks repaired.

I have 1991 Mitsubishi lancer i have oil leak at back of motor my repairer said i have leaking head gasket i have no overheating problems or water problems what do you think?
Hi A head gasket can leak oil without causing overheating problems. If the gasket has blown between an oil gallery and the outer edge of the head it will show as the problem that you are having. best wishes

Air in the system. Bleed the cooling system and remove any trapped air pockets.
Where is the relay switch for the cooling fan on a 1991 Pontiac Lemans located?
on mine is screwed into the radiator about half way down on the right hand side when in front of the car has two wires coming out of it. If you're having overheating problems it could be the thermostat. Mine went out about 3 months ago and i replaced that relay first aswell made no difference, hope that helps
What can cause a head gasket to blow will not having the oil cap on or antifreeze in the radiator cause it?
Lots of things can cause a head gasket to fail, but the usual cause is engine overheating. Things like warped or cracked heads, incorrectly installed gaskets or heads, incorrectly torqued head bolts, torquing head bolts in the wrong sequence, are also common culprits. Not having the oil filler cap installed, while not a good idea, shouldn't result in head gasket failure. No antifreeze in the radiator (either just water filled or empty, not sure which your question meant), or not having the radiator cap installed, could definitely cause engine overheating, and therefore, a blown head gasket.
