    Engine overheated tonight

    I was driving through a busy traffic and I noticed my temp went to 210 and as I continued through the stop and go traffic it went to 230 and then 250 and it got close to the max reading which was 260. Yes, I smelled coolant.

    Now my 98 bird has only 32k mileage and I took the supercharger out awhile back so I could use the AC more. And I have a 160 stat on and I have it in there since 2007. I don't abuse this car at all. I drive it like an old man, which I am actually. So it can't be LIM gasket going out. All the hoses look good and radiator is full. Coolant elbows have been changed.

    I just have a feeling that my fan didn't turn on. Is there a way to test that. Perhaps you guys can throw me some more ideas.
