==================
Does the level of the coolant in the radiator and the reservoir tank
match what the owner's manual says? If it's low, your thermostat won't
work right, your temp sensor(s) won't work right, your fans won't start,
and you'll start warping / cracking your head.
Any leaks on the driveway? (Plain water doesn't count)

I have checked both fluid levels and they are fine. There are two fans and
it seems one of them is the one that cuts out as temp goes above 90
degrees.
THE DEALER FOUND THE A/C RAD FAN HAD INTERMEIITANT PROBLEMS, REPLACED
FAN, IT IS NOW AS IT WAS WHEN NEW. HAVE THEM TAKE BACK THE COMPRESSOR
IF I WAS YOU. HOPE THIS HELPS, SORRY FOR THE UPPER CASE TYPE.
