No. To fix my problems with the overheating at idle was thermostat and radiator fan. Remember the mechanics installed the thermostat incorrectly. I'm glad I fix the problem by myself and I will be good for other 100k miles on all of the parts I replaced unless used radiator fan give up soon.

I had to replace my radiator-fan motor (not the A/C condenser) also several years ago because it wouldn't always come on. I used a brand-new Toyota OEM part. I am shocked to see that Toyota no longer makes the part. I guess they figured out that you could get a similar-quality aftermarket motor for much cheaper.

Well I have not yet replace the A/C condensed fan yet but if either of them go bad again mthen both brand new fans go for less than $250 and that is made by Denso so I'm not worry about that. The reason I went with this way to see if it stop overheating which is did. Honda use Denso brand name on some of the parts.
