Ibilad mo sa araw, tapos running at idle only, buksan mo aircon full blast. Check how long before the temp needle goes beyond halfway, if it does at all. This should simulate a bad traffic day on EDSA.

As for the other questions here, our Lite Ace has 3 fans, the viscous clutch fan on the engine and one electric fan each on the 2 condensers. That's how it was when we got it 4 years ago. I think the fan on the condenser next to the radiator was just added on, judging from the mounting brackets used. IOW, obvious na hindi stock.

I've never had overheating problems with this vehicle since the radiator cap fiasco I posted earlier on this thread.

I don't know if this is still relevant, medyo matagal nang na-post yung mga tanong e, but HTH.

Most of the time repair shops recommends repairing or replacing radiators, replacing cylender head gaskets, etc. What evryone should do is first try simple solutions first before they get into the hard ones, like cleaning the condensers in front of the radiators with high pressure water and soap and rinsing it for about five minutes solves most overheating problems.

Check also the radiator cap if it has no leak and correct pressure. Also advisable is putting 50/50 coolant and distilled water. This does not stop overheating per se but it maintains cleanliness of the radiators and the engine block which prevents them from rusting, preventing future overheating.

We experienced the same problem. Pag nakatigil ng matagal and the aircon is running, umaakyat ang temp. Nawawala din ang lamig ng aircon.
The problem was caused by the auxilliary fan ( hindi umaandar.) There are 2 fans on the radiator, and only 1 was spinning. If the aircon is ON, dapat parehong umiikot yun.
Just pop the hood, and check if both fans are spinning.

mga boss! newbie here... i just bought a 1994 toyota liteace gxl sabi ng may ari bago bilhin ang problema nga daw is your overheating pag halimbawa traffic tumtaas ang temp lalo na pag nak on yung aircon...so ang gingawa niya daw pinpatay niya lang yung aircon sa likod tapos nag no-normalize na daw ang temp...tapos na consult na daw niya sa mechanic niya about the problem...ang sabi daw dapat paghiwalayin yung condenser sa radiator...kasi magkatapat daw yun...question is... totoo ba to? or may nakatry na ba sa inyo nito? baka kasi sayang lang gastos tapos ganun din pala... meron din nagsabi na magdagdag daw ng aux fan...ano ba dapat sir ang best possible solution??? help naman dyan...salamat!

Do both... add an aux fan and move the radiator condenser. But adding a powerful auxiliary fan should be enough.

Kung walang thermostat, lagyan mo ora mismo.

to know kung silicon oil nga do the following:

1. while the engine is off open the engine bay
2. with your finger push the radiator fan.
3. pag umikot ang fan blades ng parang electric fan na naka-off... silicon oil nga.

hope this helps

paano mapapaikot sir e naka konekta nmn ung belt ng fan sa alternator?
