    Doors hard to open after new weatherstripping

    I had the same problem after I replaced my weatherstripping, but it went away after a few weeks with no adjustments. Good luck to you.

    IAC Spacer kit?

    Go through the checklist that jrichker has compiled. One quick, free thing you could try is to flip the IAC upside down. I did it, and it helped quite a bit. I also have the IAC adjustment plate installed, and it doesn't seem to do anything. Hope that helps.... Good luck to you. Let...

    Just some info on an idle problem.

    My cars idle was a little too bumpy, and hard to start after it was warmed up sometimes. I searched the threads, and found some entries about guys taking there IAC sensor on the side of the throttle body, and flipping it upside down. I decided to give that a try, and my idle went up about 200...

    need help with dccontrol fan

    Todays test drive seemed to go OK. The temperature outside was about 70 degrees, and I sat in a bit of traffic, and the mechanical guage never went above 178*. I'm thinking everything is good to go now, and the 90+ degree days coming up don't have me too worried. I'll throw another thread in...

    need help with dccontrol fan

    I swapped locations of the stock sender and mechanical sender. We let it idle for a while, and the mechanical guage responded faster than before I moved it. With the fan set to the lowest setting the temp went to about 158 and seemed to just stay there. The stock guage went up a little more...

    Nutty5.0. My controller is built into the fan that I got from dccontrol.com. So you agree that I should move the mechanical fan sending unit up front too. Thanks for your input.

    Hissin. Brian emailed me back and said that he thinks the real issue is probe placement i.e. it may be pushed in too far thus spreading the fins apart so they aren't in good contact with the probe. So I just went out there, and repositioned it and started it up again. I "snuck" my wifes...

    need help with dccontrol fan

    I took it out for another spin today, and here's the results with cool weather today in MD. I have the temp knob on the fan set all the way down to 145*, and the mechanical guage (after some driving and some sitting idle) crept slowly up to 192*. Now here's the odd thing. I know we all don't...

    I emailed Brian so hopefully he'll be able to shine some light very soon. I'll keep updating untill it's right. Stay tuned, and thanks guys.

    need help with dccontrol fan

    TheUser: Mine doesn't have the jumpers, and the controller came already mounted to the fan. I did connect the blue wire to one of the two wires on the plug for the ac compressor, the smaller black wire with the stripe. I connected the red power wire to the positive battery post, and the black...

    need help with dccontrol fan

    yeah, it's the dccontrol fan and controller in one. The install went great, no problems at all getting it in, though it was a tight fit. The fan looks awesome too, Brian does great work putting it together and trimming it. The thing blows some serious air with the AC on, just having some...

    Battery dead...

    Just another thought. I use to own a 67 mustang that I was having battery problems with. I took it to a reputable shop, and they said it was a ground problem, and they installed a ground cable from the shock tower to one of the head bolts. Poof, no more dead batteries. Hope this helps you.

    Battery dead...

    My battery is still up front, but I had the same problem untill I put in a new battery, and ran a new ground cable from the batter to the block. Unfortunately I did them both at the same time so I'm not sure if it was just one problem or two. Maybe you could run a ground cable from the block...

    I've got the 3018 fan that doesn't have the jumpers. I'm also using a 180* stat. My probe is basically in the exact same location as yours. Is your probe wrapped in a rubber sleeve? Thanks.

    The mechanical guage is installed in the lower intake toward the back in one of the free openings that's usuallly blocked off. Well, I moved the probe down about 1 inch from the bottom corner of the radiator, and about 1/4 inch from the side. I connected the ignition wire to a key on source...

    Thanks DMAN302, but my controller doesn't have the jumper settings to set the temperature, it has the knob like a dial on a radio. Thanks for the input though.

    Just a question. What is the underdrive jumper? I know that some of the controllers set the on temp with jumpers, but mine has a knob that you turn. I do have an ignition wire that I think is optional to do the 10% turn on thing that you mentioned. If I connect that wire to a 12v source the...

    need help with dccontrol fan

    Thanks again. I read the troubleshooting last night, and saw the part about testing pins 1 and 2, but I'm not sure where the pins are. Maybe I missed it, I'll surely read it again, and do that tonight after I try moving the probe close to the hose, push it in further, and bend the fins around...

    Thanks, I'll move it back down closer to the hose, and push the fins back around the probe. When you say your probe is pushed in untill the base is flush with the pins like the directions say, is the base the "ring" that runs around the probe about in the middle of it? (which is only about an...

    The one I have doesn't have jumper, but rather a knob that you turn from 145 to 215 degrees. Do you have your probe stuck all the way into the radiator that you can't see it. I've got it in, but it seems like it want's to fall out. I tried moving it higher on the left side of the radiator...
