Four problems related to radiator have been reported for the 1997 Chevrolet Cavalier. The most recently reported issues are listed below.
Engine coolant leak. Car has not been looked at by a mechanic yet. I've had to fill the radiator with fluid several times in the past month. The leak is becoming faster now, as I've had to fill it up two times in the past 4 days.
Car radiator fan won't kick on cause car to get very dangerously hot causing car to become a bomb.
For those of you with problems with your engine coolant, I finally got mine fixed. After telling me it was the temperature sensor and the thermostat it ended up being a crack in the radiator cap, something that costs $10. A good way to prevent engine shutdown is to turn your vent fan to hot air, as hot as u can get it. That will bring down the tempature reading, everytime. Something to look for when your stuck in traffic alot, thats when it happens when you idle to long.
Coolant temprature sensor failed. Yh.
