Unhappy Cooling Problems ......:(

Well i was driving my car tonight (which by the way was running great! up until 10 minuts ago) i had it running in the parking lot for about 10 minuts, i got back in to check the time and i noticed that the Temp guage was creeping up (about 3/4's of the guage. i also noticed that electric fan was not working too (the one in front of the condensor (which i took out for better flow to the rad) I just had the thermostat replaced about 2k ago, i have a KOYO rad and im also running the stock fan but no shroud which ive seen alot of people do. i ended up driving home with the heater blasting and the hood popped. where is the fan relay located on our cars? it didnt blow the fuse either, what should i do?

eh....fan relay? its mechanical. have you ever had it idling that long? any problems before? could be just the fan couldn't pull any air through.

once you drove it again did it go down? maybe the new T-stat got stuck closed, or partially?


okay, and I'm confused... you said, "I noticed the electric fan was not working too(the one that I took out". is the fan there or not?

the electric fan in front of the ac condensor is still there, i took the condensor out for better airflow to the rad. im also running the stock mechanical fan as well. My electric fan stopped running last night for some reason and i want to know wher the relay for the fan is. thanks
