Just started out of the blue it gets up to about 235-245 at stoplights and cools down a little to 220-225 when we get moving think the radiator might be clogged not sure. Also I don't think the electric fan is working seems a little stiff

When was the last time you've done any maintenance on the cooling system, if ever? Good idea to bite the bullet and spend the ~$200 and just do a complete overhaul of the cooling system, especially with summer right around the corner.

I've only owned it a month or so and money is tight but I do plan on a radiator water pump and Tstat change if the fan clutch doesn't fix the problem
