Odd Symptoms... any clue?
Okay, first off, I know my motor is shot. Ran a basic compression test, and on rotor #1 100 psi, and on rotor #2, 80 psi.....
But, I have no choice but to drive it, I finally got a job, and hopefully she can hold out until july so I can buy a motor.....
It takes a while to start, but when it runs it does ok.
Here's the strange thing..... I know a coolent seal is worn, and so I have to add coolent here and there, and so I have to make sure I get all the air out of the system so the fans will turn on when the car is warm. But when the car is cold, if the engine is flooded, I can pull the EGI fuse to unflood the motor, but then the fans come on.... why? Just a little something I would like to know for the sake of knowing.... thanx
