If you didn't read my previous blog this one won't make much sense to you, but I don't think the paste below is my problem.

I notice that they don't mention Canadian vehicles or even all States but these vehicles are all made at the same plant.

1994 MERCURY SABLE ENGINE AND ENGINE COOLING:COOLING SYSTEM:FANRecall Date: 02/25/1997 Summary: THESE VEHICLES ARE ORIGINALLY SOLD OR CURRENTLY REGISTERED IN THE FOLLOWING STATES: ALASKA, IOWA, MINNESOTA, NEBRASKA, NORTH DAKOTA, AND SOUTH DAKOTA. THE VEHICLES INVOLVED ARE 1992-1994 TEMPO/TOPAZ VEHICLES WITH 3.0L ENGINES; 1994 TEMPO/TOPAZ WITH 2.3L ENGINES; 1992-1995 TAURUS/SABLE WITH 3.8L ENGINES; 1994-1995 TAURUS/SABLE WITH 3.0L ENGINES AND 1992-1994 LINCOLN CONTINENTAL VEHICLES WITH 3.8L ENGINES.

That doesn't sound like the same problem because if the fan doesn't go on the rad cap WILL get hot. I'd get a second oppinion or you could take the thermostat out and see how it runs ?
