I have used radiator stop leak before in my 1996 Olds Achieva SC with the V6. I put it directly into the coolant resovor. It went in fine for me. This did not give me much help though. I would not recommend using stop leak. It will clog your heater core and then you will have more than the radiator as your problem. Fine a new radiator and replace it that is the best advidce i can give you.
1992 olds Achieva does not have that switch. ECM receive signal from the coolant temperature sensor and send command to relay #6 for turn on/off the radiator fan. Relay #6 is located in the motor compartment on the fireboard.

Look under the car near the radiator it an aluminum pipe with a red cap.
To bleed the cooling system on a 1996 Oldsmobile Achieva, first ensure the engine is cool. Remove the radiator cap and start the engine, allowing it to reach operating temperature. As the thermostat opens, air bubbles will escape; keep an eye on the coolant level and add more if necessary. Once the bubbles cease and the coolant is at the proper level, replace the radiator cap securely.

To replace most heater cores you have to remove the dash on the passenger side.
The map sensor is located on the intake manifold on a 1996 Olds Achieva 2.4 liter. It is in the center of the intake manifold.
I get about 30 miles to the gallon with my olds achieva.
