When the engine is cool, take the radiator cap off and make sure the radiator is completely full of coolant. Also check the operation of the cooling fans.
AnswerMost likely the fan relay. http://www.neons.org/neontsb/TSB/recall/rc769.htmanother possibility is your fans are unplugged from the connector at the bottom of the engine

1993 Dodge Dakota truck overheats in hot weather on idle only how stiff should the clutch fan be could this be the problem?
With the engine OFF & cold the fan should not turn more then a 1/4 turn or less. If it spins more then a turn that could be part of the overheating problem. I would check your water pump & belt.
