Default need some work done

aight, i have a 93 corrado. bought it not knowing most people wont touch the car. i need my thermostat replaced, A/c fixed(doesnt blow and didnt cool before the fan quit) speaking of fans... cooling fans arent working properly(they come on, but at odd times and cut off when the engine is still hot) and finaly my relay/fuse panel is hanging down! scary but hanst made any real problems....yet.

so i kinda need someone in St.pete that can do some or all of this. my car has about a 20 min range before i have to let it cool off.

i love this car so i really wanna fix it so i can keep it for a long time. i never had a FWD before this. but this car is fukin sweet. i love everything about it, just wish i could have got it when it was new.

thanks guys

Dan

most of that stuff you can easily do yourself. disconnect the top radiator hose and your thermostat is right there. the issue with the fans, if you have a voltmeter then check your ground, it sounds like they arent getting a good ground. and for the fuse panel. bolt that bitch back in its spot.

As far as A/C, after checkin fuses (and if the corrado kept the twin A/C relay setup on the radiator shroud as the A2's), might need a new blower motor. Get the blower workin first before attackin any other A/C components, as it's the cheapest If it is the same as the A2's, that might also be the culprit behind your intermittent cooling fan anomoly, as those relays (if memory serves) kicks the fan on whenever the A/C is on.

Oh, as far as wishin you could have bought it while new... Doug White from Autobahn Connection/ Metropolis Autowerks in Pompano has/had a red 93 Corrado SLC w/ under 2k original miles. He keeps/kept it mothballed at his house. Last I heard from him a coupla years ago he said he would never ever sell it, but who knows, some things change

She's still hangin in there. Speaking of the devil, my fan stopped working today in the middle of the Best Western fire traffic I guess I finally have some initiative to install the Saab 900 twin fan setup that's been collecting dust for a few years.

How's the Jolf JTi treatin ya?
