[DeTomaso] Fw:  Overheating

I don't remember who mentioned it, but someone said that the fans might be
turning the wrong direction.  That's a pretty good guess.  It's a guess
'cause it's hard to diagnose remotely.  Hell, it's hard to diagnose locally.

The fans on my car were mounted as pushers and were wired backward.  They
have curved blades, though.  When they run backward, they don't push any air
at all.  When they turn the right direction, they move some serious air.

Don't rule out a leaking head gasket.

Yes, but it would be a constant problem.   This is a motor that ran fine for

a long time (months?), then developed this problem all of a sudden, which 
comes and goes.

Intermittent problems are a real pain!
