Can anyone test this out for me. With your car on and a/c on your fan should be running @ HIGH. Now unplug the ECT sensor (while a/c+high speed on) does your fan speed change at all or does it stay the same.
With my car and the high speed fan on and i unplug the ECT sensor the fan ROMPS up higher and spins faster. So it seems my fan is running in medium speed when Highspeed is triggered with the manual switch. Without the switch installed it runs in Normal mode with the A/C on.
Now i unplugged the ECT sensor with the fan spinning @ super high my temp still are about 215-220 with the a/c in this weather.
I turn the A/c off the temp slowly drops back down to about 200. If i idle it drops to 195. A/C back on and driving its up to 230 again.
So im stuck here today deciding if i should drop $160 on a brand new fan or not. Im really hesitant because i dropped so much money on this issue and the fact the car still gets HOT with the fan on super high. For all i know the fan could be turning off while im driving and turning back on when i stop.
Car is pretty much stock. besides full exhaust..
Stock fan and shroud
Its 90 degrees outside right now.
What i changed so far:
Radiator to new oe style radiator
Waterpump
Thermostat
ECT sensor
New Sensor
Fan switch for High
Mechanical temp gauge
drained system and added new coolant with new radiator (no flush)
What i havent done is:
Changed to a NEW oem fan
Flush the coolant system with chemicals
What would you guys do in my shoes? Besides ripping out the A/C
