SOURCE: My 1999 Saturn does the exact same thing

The radiator fan is not spinning. Car overheats when idling with no air flowing through the radiator fins.

When you are driving, there is enough air flowing through the radiator fins to keep the Saturn cool.

1. Check the radiator fan (cooling fan) fuse.
2. Check the radiator fan electrical connector. It may have vibrated loose.
3. *sigh* .. replace fan motor....

If you need instructions on how to replace fan motor , please comment.
Just don't let the fan scrape against the radiator when you are removing / rfeplacing the motor.

Hope this helps ... and it's just a fuse.

first place i would start are the MAXIfuses in the main fuse panel in the engine compartment, they are huge green fuses that should be 30A. but they control a large array of things.

My saturn 1994 s12 is overheating even after i changed the water pump.

How hot is it getting in degrees F? Some electric fans won't even turn on, till around 220 degrees F. Does the fan turn on at all?
As far as overheating, does the coolant recovery reservoir fill up in a hurry?
Sometimes after opening up the cooling system, you get air in the system that may cause temp gage to react.
What about your thermostat? Did you check for coolant flow through the radiator? Another thought might be a head gasket issue, I'd check everything else first.

Saturn Ion Problems i have a 2005 ion 2 the car is overheating when stopped in traffic temp gage rises when i move it drops back to normal i have replaced the fan and the censors and still have the same...

check that the direction of the fans is correct as with DC power fans if the polarity is reversed then the fans will spin backwards . Check that the fans were correct type for your car. The problem is no air flow through the radiator at idle which is fan problem

High Idle 2000 Saturn S series

Definately have a sensor problem...but that may not be all. You can blame the sensor issue on the idling problem. The overheating in park is likely one of 2 things, provided you have adequate coolant. #1 a sticking thermostat or a bad coolant temp sensor not activating your fan at idle. What you should do is have your diagnostic codes read in order to take care of the sensor issue. Most national parts chains such as Auto Zone or Advance will do this at no charge in hopes of selling you a sensor. Good Luck! I hope you find this to be very helpful.

Not only does the temperature rise when in stop and go traffic or when idling for a while, but then, when I start up, the exhaust emits a big white cloud. Is that still a symptom of a coolong fan...

I think you have 2 separate problems. The first is very likely a cooling fan malfunction. Unfortunately, a big white cloud of exhaust gases usually means head gasket leakage, which could have been caused by the engine overheating.

97 saturn sl2 temp light flashing and low coolant light flashing what could be the problem ? coolant is full and the heat works.

If the temp gauge is reading normal, the lights are flashing, and the coolant level is full, the level sensor in the coolant bottle is the problem. I'm a service consultant for a Saturn dealer and I've run across this many times.
