Nope, coolant looks good. I think I have narrowed the problem down. It only occurs after a lot of driving, then I will stop at a convenience store, start up, and hit stop and go traffic again. I popped the hood last time and the secondary fan kicked in to save the day (way too late though, I was already at the end of the red zone temp wise). But the main fan was spinning so weakly I was able to stop it with my finger. So my fan clutch is bad, assuming it is not a magnetic fan clutch. Does anybody know if these cars have a normal liquid fan clutch or if it is magnetic?
