Unhappy went back to stock fan, now idles high?

like the title says, I changed out my electric fan for my stock one because it just wasn't keeping cool enough. now it idles at about 1700 RPM ??

that is the ONLY thing I changed, why would it do this? its on my 87' TII, so I can't really adjust it down... right?

Um, I don't think it's fan related my friend. Are you sure you didn't pull off a vacuum line or something somewhere?

He must have had about an 80 amp fan to raise the idle THAT high.

Hence my original idea that it's not fan related.



Possibly a part happened to fail (TB related) at the same time you switched fans? Unrelated, just at the same time, if you know what I mean?

I had a fiero fan.

what part could have happened to have failed at the same time? what should I check?

oh, I just remembered, my thermoswitch is still connected to my battery.... but the fan isn't connected to it, so it shouldn't matter, right?

oh wait! I just thought of something...

one of the brackets on the throttle cable (to mount it) broke a couple days ago, so it was just hanging down in the way of the fan. I saw this and decided to put it up out of the way, like above the sway bar... its probably got a few bends in it like that. damn, its probably just sticking inside the cover thing. I'll try that tomorrow and hopefully it will work.


great!! thanks for the help.
