Help
i have a 97 ls 3100. during all warm weather months as soon as it hits about 45 my car likes to keep getting warmer and warmer and then stalls out. during winter months tho it never has a problem and as soon as my motor gets hot then the cooling fans kick in. is there a possible problem with my cooling fans kicking in to late or are set wrong? this only happens when my car sits while its running but when i start driving the temp gauge goes back down and i dont have any problems... anyone know what this could possibly be???

The stock fun turn-on temp is 212 I think, so your temps will always go up to some degree while you're sitting in traffic. That's normal. I'm no help with your stalling problem though.

Let the car sit and get warm, pop open the bleeder valve, does air come out?

i've ran it warm and opened both bleeder valves and had no air come out of either but i mean my car gets super hot way warmer than 212 about 3/4 way up the temp gauge.
