Answer
Hi
Check for coolant level.
If there is no coolant it will run hot. I would take it to a shop and have the computer scanned and see at what temp. the fans are actually coming on. The gage MAY be wrong.
Also check and see if there is a leaking Lower intake manifold gasket. This engine is REALLY common for having bad gaskets.
I hope this helps
Good Luck
