ok So this might be a quick question..

i have an auto s14 with 190k miles. It heats up every once in awhile and has been doing so for over a year now. the only time it will over heat is in BAD traffic or going uphill on a hot day after driving around some.

to get it to cool down while running, all I have to do is turn on the heater and use grandma style driving to get the car up to speed where i can get proper airflow - cools down within seconds...

I'm assuming it is the clutch fan and if it is, how do i fix it?
Just replace? Glue the clutch engaged?

I just want my a/c back. summer is getting too hot and i've dealt with it last summer. didn't have a problem with it during winter but now it is starting to get hot again.

edit* Ive already replaced the thermostat and bled the pipes completely.
