Ok here is the situation, I have a 96 gt manual. I have a brand new radiator brand new belts and new hoses. I flushed the cooling system, I installed a new thermostat and I replaced all 3 fan relays and replaced all of the fuses in my car. Now the problem, when I drive my car the fans do not want to work. The temp gauge in my car says that the coolant temp is normal but i will drive for like 3 miles and one of the fans should kick in by then right? Anywaz when I turn the ac on both of the fans kick in for a little while but then turn back off. I drove my car and the radiator isn't steaming or nothing but I am a little concerned. There aren't any coolant leaks and other then the super hot radiator the engine runs like a champ. no knocking no wierd idle everything seems ok. I have had this problem before but it was only my thermostat, but I just installed the new one bout a month ago.Any help would be appreciated.

Try letting the engine run 'til it's at normal operating termperature, and then rev it up to about 2000 rpm, do not move the car. Just sit there for a while, and eventually your engine should get hot enough for the fan to kick on. If the temp starts to get high and you still have no fan, THEN you have a problem. -Doc -------------------- -Dr Tweak, 6GC's resident engine swap wiring expert extraordinaire Click here to see my swaps drtweak@phoenixtuning.com |
