thats how its supposed to blow, air should come from the front bumper and out the fan to the engine. have you checked your radiator fluid levels, thermostat etc.?

If looking at the front bumper...air comes in bumper, through radiator, through fan, then hits motor. If at a stop the air from the fan should be pulling INTO the engine bay.

check your coolant level. also when your puttin coolant in squeeze the upper radiator hose and let all the air flow out of the coolant lines. If you have air caught up in there your car will get hot quick. Had the same problem with my eg coupe. Just check the coolant and squeeze the air out of the hoses you should be good to go. If not you got bigger problems lol

turned out to be a faulty radiator. i got my new one put in and no more problems.

i think the car overheated once and split the radiator at the bottom but it wasnt leaking bad enough to see it, then it just got worse and worse until i could finally see it leaking.

i warmed the car up and then let it sit for 10 min running and it didnt overheat so i think its all good.
