Engine Cooling problem
1990 Plymouth Acclaim 4 cyl Front Wheel Drive Automatic
----------------------------------------------------------------
I have a 1990 Chrysler Plymouth Acclaim and its been overheating. I replaced the termostat in it on June 12 2008 and it is still over heating.I checked the fan and its working but it only turns on when the tempature gauge is 3/4 or more toward the hot side. The more I think about it the more im not woundering if something else is not wrong causing the fan to take so long coming on. I have enough coolant and all of the fuses and wires work and look great. Im lost as to why its still over heating. I would like to know what else could be wrong with my car to make it over heat like it does.

Check coolant fan operation
check water pump if moving coolant through the system
check for a head gasket failure
