Default Overheating!

ok I have a 96 dodge intrepid and its overheating quick. Like when I turn it on and drive out the parking lot at my aprtment. Ok i live in phoenix AZ and it like 100-105 deg outside.

now my question is do these cars do this a lot? Also what can it be? radiadtor? thermostat? low coolant? I have no idea on what else can cause this. So what else can it be????

can it be a faulty sensor???

what else can u guys think that can overheat this car???

help me please!

Thanks

Phox

i havent heard of these cars hang this problem often...but all i can tell you is to check your radiator, most of the time with overheating it is the pesky radiator. check the cooloant level and check the radiator for holes and missing/ loose hoses.

cooling fans tend to go bad and drw alot of amps causing your rad fan fuses to blow. also try to bleed air out of cooling system and top off coolant as necessary.
