I dont think it would be my fans, since the temperature needle doesnt move down when the fans are running (I dont have a FMIC BTW). A coolant flush didnt help (using a machine from work) with the temperature also and the coolant didnt look really dirty. My guess was the head gasket also. I was blowing out very little white smoke from my exhaust when my car was running before it broke down. Now I havent gotten the chance to get on the throttle so I can't tell if I'm blowing more white smoke or not. Hmm...I'm going to need a timing belt and water pump replacement along with the headgasket change...wow...$$$!
