Hi Zelenay, welcome to the forum.

It is difficult for me to understand what you are trying to say. Your post is one long run on sentence that appears to have a few concerns in it.

#1: Does the car run well now?
#2: What makes you think that it was overheated?
#3: Where does the temp gauge sit while the car is running, after 5 minutes or so?
#4: The radiator fan only needs to come on if the coolant temperature goes above 216° F. So, if the motor is running cooler than that, the fan may never come on.

Clam down and use English punctuation. Separate you issues in different post, threads, or at least paragraphs.

Sorry about the post it was late and I was out of time . Yes the car runs well , the temp gauge go to 3 'o'clock and I have not seen it go higher , the turbo boost gauge will not go past the half way point in to the Solid white part . The heater fan will come on and off after I start the car or put my key in it I can not Control it by the controls on the dash. The car had sat for about three years and needed a cam sensor after Changing that the car started up but then started throwing HoTMetaL flakes out of the exhaust so I cut off the Cadillac converter and put it straight pipe for temporary use. Now the only new code that pops up is for n Excelerator pedal switch A . I fell that the car gets hot because of the over flow Boils up after you turn off the car

What does that mean? Overflow boils up? The coolant reservoir cap should not be opened when the car is warm. It is a pressurized system and the cap should only be opened when the car is cold like first thing in the morning.

Oh, the turbo boost gauge only going 1/2 way into the white while boosting is normal. Your boost pressure is set to about 9 psi with the stock ECU.
