you only need the fan when you're not moving. if it's overheating when you're driving down the freeway, you have other issues. I can idle in traffic on a hot day for 10 minutes before the fan kicks on.went for a nice drive, but about halfway through the drive i noticed my temp go to the white line before the red while i was at a stop light, so i took the free way home a noticed that the car didn't get much cooler, so i popped the hood and realized the electric fan wasn't even spinning so i took out the key messed around with things, put the key back in and then the fan started spinning but 10 seconds later it stopped, so i checked al the connections, and one of them was slightly loose, so i pushed it in and now the fan spins, i'll redo all the connections tommorow(the fan is now connected to washer pump), also i painted the inside of the hood red, and it turned out pretty good, i even clear coated it, and i have hood insulation so everything everything should last, when i was washing the top of the hood i found a new dent, and i dont know how it got there, I guess i'll go get some more air duster cans.Comment

okay, i'll go bleed it more, my fan is set to always on, but it was being a retard, my aux fan never came on, i even got the temp to goto the whiteline of the red and it never came on, so i bought a new switch today,and i already have the coolest thermostat available installed,it was 98 degrees outside, so that has something to do with it.

what a waste of time, first i go to get my car smogged and then realize everything closed because its sunday, so ohwell it was a good drive, i get home and switch hood hinges back for my bent one, becuase it was hard to close the hood, then i realize that the hood closes nice and easy but the hood sits crooked, so i put the old one back and the hood closes good for 3 times then it stops closing, so i just say whatever as long as it looks right, then i try to adjust the bumper before i get it painted but i realize the bumper shocks are just messed up so i say forget it, then i wash the car so its nice and clean, and park it in the driveway and then an hour later it rains really hard for like 4 minutes and soaks it again, I LOVE MY CAR:D
i'm looking to buy smileys smoked or not, i just need lights.
