For those that were following my saga. I finally fixed it.

Quick Synopsis:

1. Overheating while in stop and go traffic.
2.Overheating while in idle.
3. Replaced temp sensor w/ updated green top.
4. Still overheating - but atleast I now am updated.
5. Did some research and add'l testing - no cooling fans period.
6. Did some more research and testing - no a/c either.
7. Did some more research and learned can be fixed by fan control module or in rare cases fuses on top of battery.
8.Started pulling fuses starting with furthermost right and moving left.
9. 1st and 2nd fused came out fine and wiped down. 3rd fuse would not come out. Just wiggled it.
10. Jumped in car turned on car and a/c COOLING FANS KICKED IN AND AC CAME ON.
11. Jumped for joy and turned car off and buttoned back up engine covers.

Seriously sooo happy right now. Just amazing.

Thanks to all for recommendation and the "long distance moral support" you were all giving me.

 

Good for you. I'm glad to hear it was a cheap repair.

 

2 words - bout and time!!

 

one word----FINALLY!

 

I couldn't agree more. Now a new DV and my engine should be running at 100% again.

 

Man I cant wait for my car to start running normal again, hopefully by this weekend.

 

Wait, so is your car actually fixed? Or did I just post a reply in your other thread for no reason??
Maybe to avoid confusion we could all just make 1 thread per issue/problem and stick with it until solved!

 

I think a new thread for every new development is in line.

 

Dont worry Becca I did the same thing, I posted to the other one, then read this one... but ohh well at least its fixed.
