Im looking for someone to help me do what you asked me to do. God I hope the head gasket didnt blow again too what a mess. I told the machanic that i have never heard the fan ever come on since they fixed that a month ago. and I feel thats why the head gasket blew . they said they tested it and it came on when it reached 220 degrees. but they never tested it by driving it.

So a month later (after they fixed the fan) the car is running like crap and suddenly the car dies and and wouldnt start again. I live approx 50 miles away from Tucson, had to rent a dolly and have a friend tow me in to drop off my car to the machanic's and it took them 2 sweeks to get to my car. drove home ok but i did notice the anti freeze smell. 2 days later going back to Tucson, didnt make it 40 miles and it over heated. they said they know its fixed but bring it in they will check it. oh sure, it over heats at 40 miles and they are at least 60 miles away. somethimes I hate being a female.

    No AC on. Fan stays running keeping the temp not to move past C. The heat barely works. Sounds like a big fan when accelerating and gets quiet when slowing down.
