If i let the car sit more than 5 minutes with the engine running and warmed up (Like in a fast food drive through) the car will heat all the way up at about 3 mm's below the Red line on my dash thermometer (or whatever you call it) , is this normal or is there something wrong??? plz help, oh and also, its usually like 90 degrees here all day so just letting you know.
The obvious: thermostat, hoses, bubbling coolant overflow tank, snapped belt on waterpump, etc.

damn. maybe its my intake, i have short ram, it would be sucking in lots of hot air, still not normal?
No, and the intake would not make your car overheat, just run shitty with hot air coming in. Check your hoses and temp sensor if need be. Also, make sure that your fans are working and that there is no blockage restricting air. If need be, drain and refill your anti-freeze making sure to bleed any air in the system.

yah, wat zero said in the first post. check your radiator. if you don't know how to check the rest, take it to a shop, definitely a problem. even in 120 degrees weather with short ram, temp should read just under midway line. better get that fixed dude, overheating kills motors, pretty much the motor is shitty as of now and forever. unless it's the thermostat.
3geez for life.
damn. actually lately i havent heard my fans coming on at all! i was wondering why. hmmm shit. MY FANS DONT WORK!!!!!!
Check fuses? also, the relay under the hood.
whats the relay? and how do i know i need a new fuse??? im gonna check the coolant in a sec, its under the radiator cap right?
what are you smoking man? where do you think the coolant goes?pull the fuse andlook to see if its burnt out

ok i have a major problem. i checked the relays and fuses, one fuse was blown replaced it, and then i took the radiator cap off and i looked and there was light brown colored shit in it!!!!!! i think i blew a fucking head gasket!!!!!!!!!!!! im getting my dad to check it now...
nvm!!!!!!! that was RUST! its fine now, replaced fuse, and put antifreeze , its fine now, im gonna take the car for a drive and heat it up, then cut it off and see if the fans cut on when it cuts off.
mmk i just took it for a spin and got home, cut the car off, dont hear fans running, but i was only out for 5 mins. i guess they'll be fine, thanks for all your help.
oops, now i see green shit all over the ground! ... another fuckin problem.
your fuckin radiatior fool!!!
3geez for life.
or its when i overflowed it. but there is more on the ground than the overflow
wire you fan to a switch so you can turn it on.if yor rad. just has a small leak you could do what i did and pull it out and solder the hole shut

ok wiring the fan switch sounds cool. more dashboard switches! i know how to wire switches and everything but where do i run the accessory to? the relay? dunno, help!
at the bottom of rad to the left of car in the sensoe it has a blue wire and a black with2 red stripes, cut those but leave enough so you can put wire back onto sensor f need be.take those wires that went to sensor and run them into cabin to a switch thats it works fine. maybe other ways but thats what i did

ok so cut off the black (With 2 red strips) wire, and put it to the ground on the switch. then take the blue wire and put it in the Accessorie or the Power? which one? or do i have to make a power wire to the battery?
get a switch with 2 termanals and just connect the damn things to it and your good
