Overheating even with new rad fans.. Ideas?
- Thread starter 91Atrac
- Start date
did you bleed the system?
any leaks?
do you get hot air?
does running heat lower engine temps?
are the fans decent? not ebay crap that have 1/4th the CFM
Use a stock temp thermostat
bleed the air out of the system
car not starting is a common issue in the Celicas, the 12V line gets heat soaked and does not send a strong enough signal to start the car. Solution is to install a rely, wrap the wire in insulation, or just keep it cranked for 30 seconds, if it doesnt star, pop the hood and let it cool off for 5 minutes.

I had these same problems! I replaced pretty much the whole cooling system with a aluminum Radiator, 170 degree lower temp thermostat, water pump, two 12" slim fans and bled the system of air

One other thing is make sure you wired the fans the right way, if you have them blowing backwards the air can't flow through the rad.
