Minor/Major Problems
#11
For the temperature problems, no. For the fuel pressure drop, I kinda doubt it. Now if your fuel system wasn't vented at all, your tank would be building up vacuum. That could be a possible cause for fuel pump strain and drop in pressure. I meant to mention earlier, that you should try driving around with the gas cap off and see if it changes things for the better. If so, you have an insufficient venting issue.

I called my mechanics again to get a better idea, in detail, of what they did and what they found. They said that they highly doubt my car is truly over heating. Due to the fact that both fans work very well, no coolant leaks, no gunk in the coolant box or on edge of radiator, and the sensor is from advance auto so it's most likely giving false readings.
Now for the fuel. They did find a Vapor leak. Due to the part being discontinued they have to go to a junkyard to get the part. I am not entirely sure what they will be replacing. All I know it it's a very small part, should take about 20 seconds to install, and is discontinued. Any ideas?

I read that the first fan comes on around 220-228ish, and the second fan comes on at critical tempertures around 238. Sounds hot but thats how they do it. You could buy a fan switch kit that will make your fans come on at a lower temperture. i saw one on summit for $40 it will turn your fans on at 176degrees and shut them off at 166.
