Yup. Worse, have coolant system staying cold/cool for any reason can cause problems like temp gauge playing ping-pong because system will not equalize and engine get slugged w/ cold coolant as OE T-stat types tries to regulate engine temp.

Rad fan should be Off most times unless you idle a lot, stuck in slow traffic or drive w/ AC.
Plus have E-fans On all the time makes it wear out and often fast. Aftermarket rad fans have same problem.

If engine gets hotter then 225-230 w/ OE fan running, "Better" fan isn't going to help much if does anything.
Having engine at 225-235 is Not = overheat no matter what crap is stated nearly everywhere w/ Fiero engine temp myths.

New Radiator and/or heater core may help more IF old unit has tubes plugged w/ crap.
Even after replacing them, Can still have other things like crush/bent pipes as covered in cave.

Many made a crap load of money selling "solutions" to problems either doesn't exist or band aid fix for real cause of whatever problems.
