How do you check a fan clutch?
When the engine is cold, open the hood before starting up. Try and spin the fan by hand. The fan should spin with considerable resistance. If the fan free wheels with no resistance then the fan clutch is bad. If the fan does not spin at all, the clutch is seized.

You simply see if it spins freely. If it does, the clutch fan is shot! Do this while motor is turned off The fan should spin freely if the engine is cold. If the engine is warmed up, shut down the engine and check the fan. Warm, the fan should turn, but should have some drag to it.
Can a Blown catalytic converter cause mustang to over heat?
No, it cant. Check your thermostat to see if it is functioning properly. Next and the most important check is to do a fan clutch test. 1. Shut of engine 2. Spin the radiator fan blade. 3. If your fan clutch is working ( dampened) it should only turn 1/2 to maybe 1 revolution. If it continues to spin, then the fan clutch is shot and you are not pulling in any air to cool the radiator. If this is the case, replace the fan ( clutch comes with the fan). This answer does not pertain to electric fans

I had the exact same problem with my 2002 Sportage. My problem was the fan clutch was worn out. If your's is a thermal clutch then that is probably the problem.

Fan clutch is not tight how can i fix this?
Answermost times a fan clutch only feels loose if the bearings are worn out. this means you need to replace it. would be more helpful if you say where it is loose, as the fan screws (left hand thread) onto the fan clutch.the clutch mounts to the water pump,and has drive pullyso it could even be the water pump that is worn outAlso, if you are referring to the fact that the fan spins freely, it is supposed to until the clutch engages it when it's needed. A clutch fan does not always spin when the engine is running and is not supposed to.
What way should a fan spin?
