I have a 98 Toyota Camry, automatic, 4 cylinder, 174,000 miles, no sounds, no leaks, replaced the bushing in alternator, and timing belt. It is getting hot, I have moved the relays and fuses around and think all that is working properly, the electric cooling fans run when the blower fan is on, but doesnt come on if the inside blower fan is not on, anyway it gets hot even if the blower fan and electric cooling fans are on. Would it be anything other than the thermostat?

Few Questions:
Did you replace the timing belt as a preventive maintenance or because it broke off?

It is right on the "marks" ? (one teeth ahead run hot the engine)

Have The Thermo-switch check (to make the cooling fans to run)

And check the thermostat (could be "stuck-shut")

I`ll be checking the thread...
