The car runs cool as long as I'm going 40+ MPH, however if I'm stopped in traffic or having to go slow the car will start to over heat.. I bought the 94 back in February and it ran fine (duh, it was winter and the cooler temps helped). I'm think that the electric fan isn't coming on, but I haven't had the chance to check it when it's hot. Is this a common problem with C4's and what did y'all do to fix it. Any and all help will be greatly appreciated.

Yes, there is a lot of confusion on this and why there is this sticky at the top:

What temp do you consider over heating? Using the digital gauge temps up to 230 sitting in traffic are perfectly normal. The analog gauge is logarithmic and therefore useless.

Monkey D. Luffy

I should have looked for the sticky!!! If I sit in traffic the car will be bumping the 260 mark on the gauge so I'm guess around 250. one time the warning light came on so it was hitting the 260ish mark. Thanks for the reply I'll check out the sticky above.

Thanks again !

I believe you are looking at that pretty useless analog gauge.
Push the "gauges" button on your dash and scroll through the options until you get to coolant temp. What is the digital gauge reading?

Monkey D. Luffy

You Sir are right, I'm using the analog gauge. I'll use the digital gauge and see what I'm getting.

Thank You for the help.

Are both fans working?

If you turn on the air the fans should run.

Monkey D. Luffy

I believe one is, I'll double check and make sure both are.

Monkey D. Luffy

Thanks, I'll check and make sure that both fans are running

Haven't had the chance to drive it, I have a company car as my DD. I'm going to take it out over the holiday weekend and try and diagnose the problem and see if it's just the fan not working or something else.

more than likely 1 fan isnt coming on. I had same issue.
make a ground switch to the fan and turn it on when needed.
install switch somewhere no one can see it

Thank you very much

Also check the condition of the air dam. If damaged it can let hot engine air circulate back to the radiator intake.

Monkey D. Luffy

Thanks, I'll check it
