Brought it to Nitroinsane, THanks Joe, unfortunately they think the issue is the PCM (not turning the fans on),they couldnt be sure though, so i think i want to just take it to a dealer and have them try to figure out whats causing it but further more… when im cruising at 70 the car is still a half-2 dashes above normal operating temp, so the fans shouldnt matter at that temp as they wouldnt be doing anything… am i missing something here? OK, so im sick of whatever is causing the malibu to run hotter than normal and im just going to bring it to a shop… anybody work at a chevy dealership or can they recommend me one that isnt going to bend me over to badly? thanks -will ---

why take it to a dealer and get banged? I’d only go there if its under warranty. If its not, take it to djnick or something and save some bucks. ---

if its still that hot at 70, sounds like MAYBE the low speed fan is working, but not the high speed fan. check relays? ---

its mechanically fine first thing i assume with any gm 3000 series engine is a intake mani leak\i can turn the fands on with the a snap on scanner. and the ac. the thermo switch is good the cts is good it has to be the pcm. we thouroughly went through this car and i followed the mitchell flow chart pretty well ---
