re: 164 overheat

[KARL C CHEN <karlcchen@domain.elided>]

Most likely your low speed fan is not coming up because 
low speed fan resistor is bad or wiring melted.  This is 
due to bad contact con low speed resistor which created
a lot of heat that can melt wiring.

There is a new low speed fan resistor from Alfa.  Replace 
it. Also check fan thermo switch and flsuh the cooling system.

What is the normal operating temp. for a 164. I recently purchased a 93 
164 and I'm noticing it runs very hot. I'm just waiting for a disaster. 
It runs at about 235 degrees. Wat can I do. It hasn't hit 250 degrees 
yet. I'm afraid of what will happen once summer arrives. The car isn't 
losing any coolant and I haven't heard the fan yet.
