***Edit nevermind.. should have searched before... my car is fine...***

I dont know if i messed something up or not.. but i installed some HID/ballast today, and since then, i dont know if it is a coincidence with the warmer weather, but i noticed my car getting above 180* sitting in traffic... it is always usually around 180... it actually reached 202*


I brought it to the dealership and they said that the Coolant Fan turnon point is 220-230*

can that be right????


***Edit nevermind.. should have searched before... my car is fine...***

 

that's normal, the fan turns on around 225

 

the fans kick on 6%@196, 13%@199, 19%@203, 25%@207, 31%@210, 38%@214, 44%@217 and 50%@221
for stock and stage 2 cars.

 

can i get ahold of someone with a HP tuners and have it turn on sooner?

 

yes, here is a suggested cut and paste that works well in virginia and maryland weather.
39.99939 50.00000 89.99939 89.99939 89.99939 89.99939 37.50000 43.75000 50.00000 56.25000 62.50000 68.75000 75.00000 81.25000 87.50000 93.75000 99.98932

 

**** i forgot....



i had the car RUNNING... it was at about 204*... pulled it into a parking lot.. DID NOT turn it off... popped the hood.... and the fans were NOT on.

shouldnt it have been at 19%??

 

Not necessarily....thats one fan btw, I believe the second doesn't kick on until ~50%. I don't remember now.

 

yea.... i tested it out today... didnt turn on around 180 or whatever..


but as SOON as i turned on the AC... the fans turned on promptly... i still dont know if it is fucked up or not with the percentage abover 180, because nothing turns on.

 

Its normal. My car always gets to 224 then goes back down to 176 when Im waiting in traffic or a long line at the track. Whenever I move to VA Beach this may sometime could you turn them on sooner for me Doc? Id greatly appreciate it, I hate seeing it say anything over 200, lol.

 

I'm actually coming your way, San Diego, in April. I think Las Vegas is along the way.
