Well, continuing on my list of "stupid" questions that I hate to ask but can find by searching:
Can you physically test to see if the fan clutch is working?
After driving on the freeway, I came to a stop light and the temp got very hot. I think that happened twice. Once I started driving it immediately went down. I added some coolant and it has since been running cooler than it was and there are no problems with it getting hot at the stop lights. It has been running fine for a month. Also, there aren't any leaks that I can see and the coolant level has been stable.
I will probably just replace the fan clutch but I hate to replace things simply out of paranoia. Of course, I don't want to overheat when its 110 out either. Anyways. Any thoughts are much appreciated.
