hey guys, thanks for replying, okay here here is the latest of this continuing saga, car was driven about 5 miles today and it was acting the same temp up then temp down when it started to reach about 250 i got off the car and opened the hood and only one fan was on...i let it cool off, topped it off with coolant and drove home, when i got home i opened the hood and noticed that the one fan that was working would turn on and then turn off, during this time the needle moved a little backward then forward as when i was driving, but now it was really getting close to overheating. so i turned it off...i replaced a burned out 25 amp fan fuse and the other fan came on, but then the fuse blew out, i put in another one but it also blew out, so i am guessing it is probably the fans...would the fans not working correctly cause it to lose coolant ? thanks
