I have a 2000 nissan maxima gxe with about 80000 miles and it started overheating as soon as the outside temp got around 85 degrees. At first the ac started acting like it was low on freon and then I noticed the coolant temp was high .i have changed the thermostat and cleaned the rad inside and out and also replaced the rad cap but it still creeps up in stop and go traffic as soon as you get going and get some air to it will cool back down .also checked to see if the fan is running and it was . any help would be greatly app. thanks
