Sounds Like Your Engine Fan Has Stopped Working, Or You Are Not Getting Enougn Air Moving Through Your Radiator. How It Works You Have A Fan That Runs When Your Engine Reaches a Tempature For It To Turn On. If You Turn The A/C On It Will Run The Other Fan For Pulling Air Through Your A/C Condensor & Help Cool The Engine Also. Have The Fan Checked. Hope This Helps

How do you keep an engine cool?
You don't need to keep your engine cool, Your car has a radiator system that will pump water/coolant to keep your engine cool. If you're engine is overheating, have someone who knows what they are looking for pinpoint the cause of the problem.
Why your car over heat when standing still has no thermostat in it fine driving any wear but once still over heats is this the pump failing?
Your car overheating can be from many of factors. If it is not overheating while you are driving down the road it could possible be your electric fan has stopped working. Another possibility is that your fan clutch has stopped working on your manual fan. The main possible reason though is the fact you do not have a thermostat in it. Without the thermastat your coolant isnt slowing down enough in the radiator to cool off so that it can cool your engine.
Why would a fan runs while you are driving?
There are 2 fans that would be running while you are driving and that is normal... the compressor fan if you have the air conditioner running and the radiator fan runs to help keep the radiator cool while the engine is on.
Would the radiator fan not working cause overheating?
Yes, if the radiator fan is not working, it can cause overheating of the engine. The radiator fan helps to cool down the engine by pulling air through the radiator to remove heat. Without the fan, the engine may not receive adequate cooling, leading to overheating.
What do you do when your at oil temp light comes on?
You had better stop and let the engine cool down. Then find out why the oil is overheating.
What is wrong with a 1995 Saturn SL2 which overheats while city driving and runs cold when driving in the highway?
Check to make sure the aux cooling fans are running. The motor could be faulty. I have a 92 SL2 that did the same thing. Assuming that the engine is similar...what happened to mine was that the coolant temp sensor was bad. Of course it stayed cool while highway...but when in city...it did not signal fan to come on...with the obvious overheating. I replaced it..and that fixed the prob.
Is it normal for the blue temperature light to come on when you start your volkswagen?
Yes, Means your engine is cool. If red at anytime you are overheating.
Why does it help to turn engine to cold air when overheating?
Obviously because it helps cool the engine faster. wrong that increases the load causing it to overheat more
What does a red light with a fan mean?
That sounds like a overheating warning light. Allow engine to cool then check coolant levels.
