  1. I just had a similiar post, all advice points to the solenoid that kicks in your hydraulic fan from low to high while your driving around town. On the highway my car stays right in the middle of the gauge ,but when I get off the highway it starts to creep up to hot telling me my fan isn't kicking it into high. Just replaced the fan motor also $260. I hope it's just the solenoid switch or one of the wires came loose for some reason. Good luck.
  2. Thank you for the reply, I will check all the wires to make sure that the mechanic put it back to gether correctly since he did do the heads. I will check the fan speed also.
  3. Hello, I have 1993 ES 300. The head gasket recently went in it ( no water in the oil, thank god). I had a mechanic who was a friend of the family (owns own shop) replace the head gaskets along with the water pump, heads done, timing chain, pulleys, etc. It took him almost a month. When I got it back it started to over heat so he replaced the Hydraulic fan motor because he said it wasn't pulling enough air through. Still starts to overheat, so he recommends to replce the radiator, so one last chance and I have him replace the raditator. Picked the car up Friday night and what hapens? It starts to OVERHEAT getting close to the "H" on the gauge. Suggestions? I'm thinking of replacing the temparture sensor and change the thermostate (it was changed with the head job). I can not think of anything else to do. Car has 132,000 and was taken very good care of. Thank you for any help.
