Sooo I figured I’d make a dedicated thread to try to solve the issue, after getting the motor back in the car and getting it running I noticed the car seems to run on the hot side without actually overheating, I also noticed the electric fan not coming on when the dummy gauge gets up there towards the hot side, I went ahead and disconnected the ECT while the car was running and that made the fans kick on but that’s just a fail safe mode.
my technique for filling the coolant was questionable at best? since I didn’t use vacuum so is it possible there is still air pockets?
My main concern is why the fans didn’t work when the car was getting hot, I am trying to find a way to measure actual coolant temp but this thing being OBD1 isn’t helping?
is there grounds to suspect the ECT being bad? Is it worth breaking into the CCRM to test the relays? From doing a google search this seems like a common problem for the 94-95 SN’s
Open for suggestions and was hoping Nate could chime in thanks!
