As stated in the coolant discussion, an obstruction in the
passages can interrupt flow.
Radiator, Fans, and Shutters
Air forced through the fins of the radiator by a fan cools the
coolant pumped through the radiator. Environmental debris
(paper, straw, lint, dust, etc.) can obstruct the fins and stop
the flow of air, which will reduce the cooling effect of the
radiator.
If the fan is belt-driven, a slipping belt will result in slower
fan speed and reduced cooling. A malfunctioning auto-
matic belt tensioner can be the problem.
to make sure they are not causing excessive belt vibration
and slippage.
Interruption of the circuit to an electrically driven fan can
result in insufficient airflow and cause the engine to run hot.
NOTE: Make sure the temperature sensor is functioning
correctly.
