Think you could share the source even if they don't spec out good?

You two are pretty funny. Wife giving me a crazy look while I laugh at the computer screen. My fear of the fan was mitigated due to the fact that it was turning soooo slow. I plan on changing out that fan actuator when I get the chance. Hope that fixes the issue. Still haven't ordered it and...

Too late, I already did it. haha.

yeah, would the junkyard be a bad idea? if so, where would you recommend that I get one?

I hooked up my obd2 scanner today and the engine temp got up to 222, so I shut it off. The fan looks like it might be done ;/ going to do a search on that actuator and hopefully that's the problem.

The fan did not speed up. It was actually so slow that I was able to stop it with my hand with the engine running.

I will check it out in the morning. I am really hoping its not the hydraulic fan. I am trying to get this car fixed good enough to get some money for a down payment for a house. 3000 obo. Not looking good. lol.

Got me lol. Yeah, that's what i meant.

I have not tried using a scan tool to monitor the temperature, I will tomorrow. As far as the fan working, it kicks on and off while the vehicle is running. Right after I do a full bleed/service of the coolant system, the temperature stays just below the half way mark while the car is running...

Harbor freight cap is definitely suspect, but it is only on the vehicle during a leak test. I put the Proper degas bottle pressure relief cap on the car when running it. I also tried replacing the degas bottle cap with a new one--no change. I am also positive that I have an OEM degas bottle. I...

As far as I am aware, the system should be pressurized below 16psi. The degas bottle cap releases at 16. This would be your pressure relief? There is a bleed that is used for removing air bubbles when changing out your antifreeze. I made sure a steady stream came out as instructed. Another...

Yeah, i bought the premixed stuff from prestone. 50/50 green.

Aux pump, You happen to have a part number for one? I did not change that out yet. Also, would this run after the vehicle was shut off? That is when it will overheat. It does not overheat once the bleeding procedure is done and vehicle is kept running.

After bleeding out the system, it stays at 50%. Wondering what would cause the pressure to exceed 16psi after the engine is shut off.

Yes, i did bleed it correctly according to http://ww2.justanswer.com/uploads/kennyz1963/2011-04-02_132855_bleed.pdf my fan works fine. it only overheats after shutting the vehicle off. Very strange.
