Randy:
The 951 is treating me great so far. I think you are on the right track......if it runs cool at speed and then overheats in traffic, my first guess is that the fans are not working as they should. I can't remember exactly which one, but one fan should come on and stay on whenever the A/C is on ( I think it's the driver's side fan). The other should come on when the coolant gets up to temperature, run for usually a couple of minutes, and then it will shut off when it cools down below a certain temp. I believe that fan also has a low and high speed. It runs on low when the car is turned off, but runs on high when the engine is running. If this is not what you are seeing, check the fuses, all the electrical connections to the fans, and the relay. I think there is a good checkout procedure on Clark's garage. Good luck.....keep us posted.
