ka24(E) air flow problem

[Felipe]

its a 89 hatch auto trans... noproblems at warm up, drives good, but when about 20 min. of driving (10 min. w/ tha a/c on) at a red light it starts to over heat!!! when i start to move it cools back down at traffic when it starts to over heat i put it on N and give it some gass in order for the fan to spin faster... and it cools down...

is it the fan clutch?

Is your fan shroud properly installed? Have you ever replaced your coolant and is it properly filled? Is it a proper water/antifreeze mix or does it appear to be mostly antifreeze?

[Felipe]

yes,

no,

yes,

... and it does look like its mostly antifreeze.

first summer since i bought it.

If you've never replaced it before, it's never a bad idea to go ahead and flush and refill it. I'd especially recommend that since it looks to be mostly antifreeze. That could be your problem right there.
