Switched back to stock fan today. Blew 3 fuses, the temp was consistently 200 deg, and fan running most of the time.

Now, with stock fan, the temp does not go above 190.

Gotta have reliability over geek factor.

I just did my efan mod and I am not having any issues. I think you need a diffrent fan I bought a ford taurus fan from a 92-95 3.8 off ebay it comes with a shroud and fits inside the stock shroud. It moves alot of air so if you switch back to an efan you should try a taurus fan and a diffrent contoller.
