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?

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.
