i have a 93 3vz camry and i started the car everthing ran smooth but i noticed that the fans werent runnin at all and after like 20 mins the car over heats so i dont know whats goin on. i changed radiator, water pump, powersteering lines, almost everything. its been about 3 months now

change your thermostat first... your thermostat might stuck to prevent antifreeze circulate thru the engine.

did you change the thermostat or coolant temp sensor?

also, check to make sure that there is a signal coming from the ecu to the p/s pump to get it to engage the solenoid for speeding up the fans.

make sure that you don't drive the car until you get this fixed...

the 3vz is notorious for blowing a head gasket once it overheats...even more so than any other engine.
