the fans dont turn on untill about 225 degrees its still in normal/ accepted range anything above that and fans still dont turn on than i would start to worry. i thought the same thing a few years back and took it to the dealer and they told me its fine. also my fans barely turn on while car is running unless its hotter than a witches tit outside

I didn't think my fans were turning on after I bought my car so I let it sit and idle till it got to 225 then they kicked on. As soon as they did the temps dropped down to 190's pretty quick.

Try letting it get to 225, they should come on.

LOL interesting analagy (sp?) If you let it sit and idle it'll get that hot. It took my car idleing for about 20 minutes to get there but it got there.

Just turn your ac on man...Cooling fans automatically come on with ac. If they don't then start looking for a problem.

thanks guys for the imput i let my car run til it hit 223 and they turned on but i did have another ??

Alright so the other day it was somewhat hot like maybe 90 and all of a sudden when i started my car it sounded like it was running on 2 cylinders and i nothings that fucked up cause the motor only has like 9000 miles on it and im completely clueless my one friend said it could be either the injectors or the spark plugs is he right or am i suppose to be looking for something else

not letting it warm up and revving it sounds like a winner
