Re: [DML] Cooling problems

Sacha,
I just went through the same thing. My delorean wasn't cooling right either. 
I drained and flushed the coolent, replaced the thermostat, (it was stuck 
closed), Refilled the coolent with prestone silver antifreeze then purged 
the system of air. very important, air builds up in the thermostat housing, 
and can cause an air lock.
I checked my fans too, they wern't coming on either so we pulled the wires 
from the thermol switch located in the left side engine compartment , Then 
made a jumper wire, plugged the wire into each wire from the switch. turn on 
the car and the fans came on. They should also come on with the A/C.
In my case someone was playing with the wireing in the relay area and 
wired one of the diodes backwards. which caused the fans not to come on.
That should be a good start.
