I'm going to be seeing the guy today and informing him that he needs to pay up....or his kid doesn't train anymore with me. It's pretty simple really. LOL But if I need that letter because he still won't pay, I'll let you know.

 

Yeah, I already experienced that issue. I have it set up to come on after the car has been started and running for like 2 minutes. I checked to make sure the fan is on, and it is.

Also, it's only set up to run on high all the time.

I don't know what "CEL" is exactly. (Actually, I don't know what CEL means. Please let me know what CEL means, and I'll let you know if I have experienced it or not.

On pinging, I only experience it once it's under a heavy load. i.e. when I'm flooring it and the needle is on the "L" of NORMAL.

The step adapter: Thats the part I need. Anyone got one for FREE?

The ECT sensor: I thought that was the issue also, but if you unplug the sensor on top of the intake, it makes the fan come on after a minute or so, and it runs continuously.


The fan is working, but it could be running on slow speed. I really have no way to find out though.

 

Tim, CEL = check engine light.

 

Ahhhhh.... LOL Yeah, I'm sure it's on. I mean, Dave's computer said it was on when he hooked it up the last time....about 6 months ago. It has been disconnected due to off road H-pipe and the cam and...yeah....ok....and so I have no idea if it's on or not. But I'm sure it is.

 

I went to the guys house, knocked on the door....Then when he answered and invited me in, I told him about the bounced check. He said "No problem! I'll take care of it right now! I'm so sorry!" Then he tried to give me $125 (the amount of the check) I said "We have a returned check fee of $25." So he gave me another $25. I said, Thank you! He was embarrassed, and took care of it right away. In three and a half years of running my school, this is only the 2nd time we have had a bounced check from a student or their parents. So, we have pretty good odds workign for us so far. Maybe now I can get that step adapter thingy.

 

Tim this is what kind of worries me. You said you run straight water with water wetter. Well, if you run straight water you dont get the rust inhibiting additives in the antifreeze. You may have shale lining the inside of your coolant passages. This will reduce the heat transfer between the water and metal drastically. It may be something to look into.

 

^^^^

The water wetter is a rust inhibitor

Straight from their website:

"WaterWetter® is a unique wetting agent for cooling systems which reduces coolant temperatures by as much as 30ºF. This liquid product can be used to provide rust and corrosion protection in plain water for racing engines, which provides much better heat transfer properties than glycol-based antifreeze. Or it can be added to new or used antifreeze to improve the heat transfer of ethylene and propylene glycol systems. Designed for modern aluminum, cast iron, copper, brass and bronze systems. Compatible with all antifreezes, including the latest long-life variations."

 

still have your fan shroud?

 

^^ Thanks Dave. Saved me the trouble.

^ Rick, yes. The stock fan has it built in.

 

Cool, I wasnt aware of that. Ive never looked into water wetter before. Just wanted to add my 2 cents in.
