Engine getting very hot during idle.

i believe the mileage is around 90k and i have never changed the thermostat. i will have to double check but i do believe the coolant fan is coming on. I am a 25 year old female who is learning all about how to fix stuff on cars because of this Aveo, such a headache but it is paid off. so i have yet to have run ins with sensors and such really so i have no idea on that :s

If you have A/C , turn it on . All of your radiator fans should come on ( 1 or 2 fans ) , best I remember .

It is common , if you have 2 fans , for it to operate most of the time , with only 1 of the fans . Unless it is really hot .

God bless
