the contour over heated when stop cause the radiator is not getting that additional air blast like when you drive.

Perhaps the radiator fan maybe dead. To chaeck that, let your engine run for 10 min.

Open the hood, look at the fan......if it not spinning wait and watch another 3 min...

If the fan never kicks in.,,, you need to get another fan kit. get at the scrap yard.

Contour's computors are set up to run the engine super hot. Why?...dunno.

Do not drive around if your fan doesn't work. You'll blow your engine cooling system and your engine will seize, means will died. And then, you will be liberated from that shameful missengineered car.

What does a contour interval of 20 meters mean?

A contour interval of 20 meters means that each contour line on the map represents a change in elevation of 20 meters. These contour lines help to visualize the shape and steepness of the terrain. The closer the contour lines are together, the steeper the terrain, while further apart lines indicate a gentler slope.

The proximity of contour lines indicates the steepness of the terrain in a particular area. Closely spaced contour lines suggest a steep slope, while widely spaced contour lines suggest a gentle slope.


Why your car over heat when standing still has no thermostat in it fine driving any wear but once still over heats is this the pump failing?

Your car overheating can be from many of factors. If it is not overheating while you are driving down the road it could possible be your electric fan has stopped working. Another possibility is that your fan clutch has stopped working on your manual fan. The main possible reason though is the fact you do not have a thermostat in it. Without the thermastat your coolant isnt slowing down enough in the radiator to cool off so that it can cool your engine.
