Efan issue?
Hey guys,
Last night I went to steak n shake, and I decided I'd just hit the drive thru. I didn't realize how long it takes there, but at least they cook your burger. Anyways, as I was sitting there, I watched the engine temp needle go slightly higher, and slightly higher. Then it passed the right white line, and the check gages light came on. So, I killed the engine for a few minutes while waiting. And then once I started driving again, it cooled back off from the wind. My concern is... why didn't the efan kick in, or if it did, why didn't it cool it off? I mean it's like 30 here right now, I'm afraid to even imagine what a few minutes of traffic in the summer will do to it. Does anyone know how the efan is controlled? I had defrost on the lowest speed the whole time it was happening. Does the A/C maybe need to be on? I just drove it 400 miles last week, and the temp didn't get anywhere near the level it was at.
Anyways, I just wanted to get this figured out before it starts getting warmer so I don't have a problem. But I carry the clutch fan with me, just in case.
Thanks
