Help on overheating 2001 Cobra

info

yes it will be like yous..mine is only slightly different...my 03 has 230k on it today...yes i drive it..if i were you i would do a compression test....these engines are know for valve seat problems from lack of cooling..it can run on 31 valves and not be felt...i just had this problem and from diagnostic on the problem (running hot,cool off ,try again,,got hot,,cool off try again) my problem came out..IT WAS A CRACK IN THE HEAD,combustion was getting into water... i pulled my engine myself and saved big time..cost was 2grand when all was said and done,and i did have the head welded.. if your good with electronics i can send you that stuff for your fan ..really its only nuts and bolts and should be fixable by any backyard mechanic

fan control

start at x-40 for no fan,,,,than x80 starts for fan wont shut off ,,,,i had to shorten this for posting its too big..if you want more pm me an email address to send it too

X84 CHECK OPERATION OF LOW SPEED FAN OR HIGH SPEED FAN PRIMARY CIRCUITS
Note: The symptom cooling fan always runs can be caused by a primary circuit fault, even though a DTC was not set. This step will check the primary circuit operation.

Reconnect CCRM.
Key on, engine off.
Access LFC and LFCF PIDs. With LFC PID off (low speed fan commanded off by PCM), the LFCF PID must indicate no fault (or NO).

If the HFCF PID indicated a fault:

GO to X15 and follow DTC P0481 diagnosis.

If the LFCF PID indicated a fault:

GO to X20 and follow DTC P0480 diagnosis. Primary circuits OK. REPLACE CCRM.

X98 LACK OF COOLING (A/C)/A/C NOT FUNCTIONING: CHECK FOR VOLTAGE TO A/C CLUTCH
Note: If the A/C clutch will engage, follow the "YES" Action to Take of this test step. If not, or unsure, continue this test step.

Start engine.
A/C on.
Access and view ACCS PID.
After testing, remove jumper reconnect A/C cycling switch and turn key OFF.
