needs new clutch. and they are not cheap. check to make sure the harness is plugged in and hasnt been wiped out by the fan.

I had that problem and it wasn't the sensor it was the clutch,it would do it going up hills last summer replaced it and fix that problem. if it has any tiny play at all it means your clutch is starting to go bad.

take your time,is fairly ez about the middle of the radiator you can see where the shroud needs to be cut so you can take the upper part and the lower part out but no to worry you can use a couple of small screws in each side to put it back together, I use a 18 inch pipe wrench for the Nut and a pry bar to hold the water pump cover from spinning............ or you can rent the fancy tools from an auto parts store, I prefer the pipe wrench.........

This link is for doing the water pump removal, but you'll get the idea on what's involved.
