Same thing as what?
Need more info on your prob...Do you have any leaks, have you installed electric fans, have you checked your coolant level, have you noticed any white smoke coming from your exhaust at any time?

the fans are factory wired to turn on a 220 or 230, don't know why they did that. get one of these: http://store.summitracing.com/default.asp?target=partdetail.asp&part=JET-60600&N=120%20302426
As far as it getting hotter uphill, that is a bad sign. You might try thicker oil. Has the car been modified in any way??
Volcanoes.. lol.

also, since i still don't have that part yet... i just turn on my air conditioner or the defrost when I want the engine to cool down. the fan turns on when you do that regardless of engine temp.

sounds to me like there is nothing wrong with the car. what type of driving are you doin? do you drive in the city a lot or out in the open suburbs? does it do this in the winter also? what area of the country do you live in; is it a hot dry area or some place up north?

For the ultimate control over your own car, wire a switch to turn your fan on from the cockpit. The easist way to gain access to the wires you need to do this can be found behind your climate control panel. §§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§REFUSE TO LOSE§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§§
