Hey guys sorry for bringing this thread back but i have a question. Well i had done a flush and that seemed to have helped but now its back. So today i was going to purchase the fan switch but i didnt know which i needed there is one in the thermostat housing and one in front cylinder head....so which is it? thanks for any help in advance.

More than likely the one in the thermostat.

Thermostat, I'd replace that also while your at it

^ +1. Get a low-temp thermostat while you're at it.. That never hurts, unless you're afraid of your coolant being too low in temp during running the car which could cause power loss in the right circumstances.

I had a serious problem stopping and breaking, had a lose battery cable, tightened her up and was good to go.
