My 1997 toyota camery fan wont comw on an smokw or steam up out of radiator

Please have a look on the following items:
- Radiator fuse, relay, relay 2 and relay 3. They are located in the engine compartment.
- Radiator fan switch. It is located on cylinder head on the water splitter near the thermostat.
- Harness wiring for broken wire, loose, contaminate or corroded connectors.

yes your car will be over heat, just go to junk yard and open thermorstar sensor of another car to replace the old one that is cheap than you buy a new one ok!

Hi Steph ! Since is a 4 (FOUR ) cylinder engine the firing order is 1342.

Too much heat can smoke your ignition electronics. Lay a spark plug out on engine metal (or clip wire grounded) to check for spark. Other TMI - For many of the 90's and 2000's Toyota various models - Camry, Tacoma, 4 Runners, Corolla, and some other models overheating is usually caused by temperature sensitive fan switch on the radiator not operating. Electric fan on the radiator should operate when temp above 200 degrees. Less often the control relay 90987-03003 is defective. Check if bubbling in the radiator smells like exhaust. That would indicate a blown head gasket. A jumper wire from your marker light positive to the lower contact in the fan control relay socket will operate your fan when parking lights are on. The larger vehicles with more powerful radiator fans will need a hefty jumper from a headlight positive to avoid overheating the lighting wiring. Make sure the engine is off and warmed up to check the radiator core with your hand to see if it is getting circulation. If it is all cold the thermostat might be stuck.

The temperature switch that turns the fan off and on is located at the bottom of the radiator and has an electrical connector on it.

If it is there, it will be obvious to you, located on the inside bottom edge of the radiator, a little tap about 1 inch across.

There are many cars out there which don't have a drain plug, and on these you have to loosen, or remove, the bottom hose from the radiator.

Look where the top radiator hose connects to the engine. There you will find the thermostat housing.
