On Tue, 09 May 2000 14:38:38 -0700, while taking a pause from shopping for shruberies, TimeRangernopsam.com found a trusty envelope and scribbled: > >If the car is equipped with A/C, that is what the other fan is for. > But, shouldn't it come on when AC is on? > >The purpose of the thermostat is to keep the engine warm, not cool. > I always thought it was to help the engine achieve and keep its normal operating temperature. >Only try to "figure it out" if a leak develops. The head may have >warped but will/may hold its shape as long as it is bolted down. In >other words - if it aint broke dont try to fix it. > That is a good idea. >The first thing that I would check is the actual coolant temperature >using a thermometer - a candy thermometer should do fine. The car may >be the victim of a faulty sensor/sending unit/guage. Check to see if >the coolant is flowing through the radiator. Turn the heater on, does >it provide a steady flow of hot air? NOTE: If a car is overheating, >turning the heater on can reduce the engine temp by as much as 15 >degrees F. That heater coil is nothing more than a mini radiator. > I will check that =) --------------------------------------------------------------------- WARNING: if replying to this email, use the address below.
