It is a completely sealed and pressurized cooling system AND it doesn't like air pockets. At 130,000 it NEEDS a timing belt and water pump at the very least.

thanks for the ideas... the fans turn on when i disconnect the temp sensor. with my scan tool it looks like the sensor is in the right range for operation. so that brings me back to the water pump/ timing belt.
You need to verify the fan runs off the sensor correctly. Unplugging it means it can run. Seeing it is in operating range is fine but will the sensor change enough to switch the fan on????

the fans also seem to kick on at about 230°F and then off around 210. i don't know what the actual on off temps are supposed to be but thats what my scan tool reads. when i hear the fans kick on and off.
Sounds ballpark. Seems like the older k-cars were 205 but most gm cars are in the 230 range.
