97 Sebring is running very hot	Sign In

Hello. I have a 97 Chrysler Sebring LXI coupe. In the past two months, I got a new timing belt, new spark plugs, new spark plug wires, new distributor cap, new valve cover and at least three oil refills/changes. After this, my car ran perfectly for 1 week, then my check engine light came on while I was out of town for the weekend. I came back and the light went off, and now my temp gauge is running very hot, except when I have my foot on NEITHER the brake nor the accelerator. It runs hottest when I am idling. I am leaking something, but only every other day! I have coolant in there, so now what? Is this going to cost me another huge sum of money?

Thanks for all your help!

OK....first of all u need to see if your cooling fan,or fans are kicking on
while engine is running turn on your A/C when u do....at least 1 fan should kick on
if not 1st check the temperature sending unit (sensor) the fluid leak may just be from the overflow tube
if the fans are not working
