RE: over heating
Answer is EXTREMELY simple... your coolant should NOT be brown! Flush that ****! I bet $20 you change the coolant and put in the proper 50/50 with DISTILLED water..... always and ONLY used distilled... and yer problem will go away!

I wrote a whole diag. for you but had to delete it. I went back and tried to read it and see if your fan works with the A/C on, but you type like a10 year old. W T F? Were did a10 yr old get a F'ing Mustang? And how does he know it's overheating?[/align]

RE: over heating
Never mind those guys grammer doesn't matter on a forum as long as you get your point across . Anyways check your coolant temp sensor . I work on c5 vettes alot and they have a problem like that . The dirty coolant may have something to do with it . But shame on you for not changing it sooner .
