Well every since i have turbo'd my car
my fans didn't work..so i hooked them directly up to power so they would work.

and now even with the fans on the cooltant still goes way up in temp (210-220) then i would shut the car off at 223ish

but i have a cooltant temp sensor on hold at autozone. (i think thats what it is called)

is this what i need to buy? or what should i look at getting..i've been suggested to get this..by 2 people..and one of which worked at a dealership.

Just looking for suggestions from others..of what may be the problem..

Also i have thrown all these codes..most whati think deal with my Oxygen sensors being out
P0030
P0036
P0053
P0054
P0134
P0135
P0141

idk what any of the codes are if someone wants to look them up for me

thanks for the help

 

theres a list of trouble codes somewhere on here.


and id go with the temp senor myself as well. not to sure, but id bet that may have something to do with it.

btw, hows the turbo? likeing it so far?

 

Ok quick question. You did retune the ECU after installing the turbo right.

 

hopefully

 

If you are getting a coolant temp reading on the DIC then I don't think the coolant temp sensor is bad. When the car was tuned for turbo did they mess with the fan settings? Typically the fans don't even kick on till 223 F. Also, if you wired the fans to be on all the time you can cause less air to be pushed through the radiator when you are moving which may explain why the temps rise.

 

yeah i did a retune with vince.
and he the fans to supposed to be turning on at 195 degrees...but nothing

this what i need?

OR TELL ME WHAT I NEED! I need my car driveable by the weekend..i already have kept the tuner longer than 2 weeks, with vince knowing of course..but still.

 

I just have to throw this out there -

Since you wired the fans yourself, did you make sure they're spinning in the right direction when on? One little switch and you've got fans blowing engine bay air back through the radiator.

 

yeah i put my hand down there and can feel the air blowing hard on the motor...
i searched and found that i MAY have a "air bubble" in my cooltant system

they said to ( on this site) to take off the coolant cap, and let the car idle for a few minutes..and if this doesn't work
then its the temp sensor i guess

 

I think the problem maybe in the fan setting of the PCM. Again, if you can see the coolant temp reading on the DIC then I don't think the coolant temp sensor is bad.
