my gf's celica overheated today and by the time she realized the temp guage topped out, she was home and the car was steaming. when i got home from work i checked the coolant, it was low so i filled it and it isn't leaking. (not enough to notice) so i had her start the car and the fans didnt turn on at all while the temp guage topped out again after about 5 min.

i figure its probably the thermostat, Fan Switch/Relay, or the Fan itself. am i on the right track? how hard is it to pull the thermostat or fan switch/relay?

Thanks, Erich

thats what i did lol trdproven i held it at like 3000 rpms constantly but then rev'ed it up 2 like 5 then let it go down. iknow its equivilent to driving but its not the same ive noticed actually driving is when you see things happen.
