the radiators on these cars have a problem after some time with the cooling fins deteriorating away and causing over heating problems.....best way to chesk is to unbolt the fans from the radiator and pull them back a little bit so you can get a clear look at the radiator...specifically the lower corners....make sure the fins are all there and in good shape
