Why is it when you are sitting in your 99 Pontiac sunfire it starts to run hot?

most common answer. Its because your electric fan is not turning on when it reaches the required temp. Meaning that perhaps, the fuse is blown, the fan is broke, or a wiring issue. quick fix. cut the hot wire from the fan and wire it to some thing that goes hot when you turn on the ignition, until you are able to fix the thermostat on the fan located some wheres on the radiator. draw back, fan runs all the time. but i have yet to see how thats a problem.

Where is the crankshaft sensor located on a 1999 Pontiac Sunfire 2.2 liter?
I just changed this out, to get to this from under the car. I put the car up on ramps. From there it's between the the oil pan and tranny. It's a tight fit for your hand. Make sure your car has been sitting to cool down for atleast for an hour. Even then the tranny and oil pan is hot, so be careful. ( it's on the back of the engine block)
How do you install a cold air intake system on a 2003 Pontiac Sunfire?
These are after-market modifications, and are pretty straightforward. I'd GOOGLE "Sunfire cold air intake" to see what's around. Also, check some of the auto shops in your area. If you see one where all the kids with the hot little Japanese cars hang out, you can bet they'll be helpful. FriPilot

Why does the cooling fan not rotate on a 1995 Pontiac Sunfire?
the fan is controlled by sensors and a switch and comes on if the coolant is too hot - mostly after you cut the engine off or in slow traffic. If you are overheating in traffic and it doesn't come on somebody has to check the circuits out to find the problem.
