Hi there I am hoping I did not mess my mothers car up even more.. she has an '87 toyt cam the radiator had a crack on the top of it and after checking the cost of the repair I desided to give it a try. I took off the fans part way then the hoses all 4 as well as the clamps that hold it in.......I put in the ready to go radiator I bought in and reattached everything then I filled the engine with a 70/30 mix of coolent and water and then the radiator with the same. The first time I drove it a lot boiled over to the over flow so I refilled but the car is still running hot I do not think the fans are running b/c I have not heard them click on but I did not take them apart.......I am at a loss........did I forget to do something? or is there something else I should check into. Not really a mechanic... also the power stearing fluid ran out not sure if realted. and the gage needle is bumbing around in the begining when first start car Thanks for any help C
