hey guys, been having a problem with my 88 n/a 2.3. while driving or at idle, the rad fan will turn on then off then a few minutes later do it again (and keep doing the same thing). i figure its either a temperature sensor or the relay for the fan. but before i drop any $$$ on either i was just wondering if anyone else has had this problem, and which of the two fixed it. thanks guys

what's the coolant temp when it does this?? ON should be around 210-220*, OFF 185-193*.
