2001 PT Cruiser running hot and intermittently overheating
What is your question?
My 2001 PT Cruiser touring edition has been intermittently overheating. There aren't any one set of conditions that seem to be triggering it except it does happen more often when I am sitting at a light or in the Drive-Thru but it doesn't seem to matter if the temperature outside is cold and raining or hot and sunny just out of nowhere the temperature gauge starts to go up.I have already replaced the timing belt, water pump, thermostat, also I had to replace the whole fan about 3 years ago. There doesn't seem to be any visible leaks either under the hood or under the car and my fluid level seems to be good so I'm really puzzled and don't want to keep spending money unnecessarily. I'm looking for a few thoughts on what else it could be or what else I could look at to possibly find a solution. I have limited funds but I have a some mechanical knowledge. Please help if anyone knows anything about these cars.
