overheating...... - Page 2

I thought you said you had the fans on all the time already?? or is that just what you tried? Is your water pump working 100%? ( belt tight )

thats just what i have tried. but if i dont click the fans full on on the dsmlink then it wont come on. and yes all my belts are tight and water pump is brand new and doin its job.

my only guess is... If all of your stuff is working correctly but the fans aren't coming on is sensors.

I think on link you can make the fans come on at a lower temp. Not 100% sure though..

Fix your fans.

Ummm, if you can have it so your fans are on all the time through DSMlink and it doesn't over heat when they are on, then why is this discussion even happening?

talonite · 12-29-2009

cuz it takes a while to warm up with the fan on and i dont constantly have my laptop in my car to switch them on and off. And its just a problem that bothers me. and was just wondering if it was related to tuning or the ecu.

Well quit being a Sally and deal with the slow warmup if it can prevent your overheating issue.

The problem isn't related to your tune, its related to the fact your FANS AREN'T TURNING ON! How many people have already said that in this thread? Either leave them on all the time or fix/replace the fan temp sensors.

I know this. and i have replaced the sensors and the fan works, but wont come on by itself. thats why this doesnt make sense. but whatever iull just leave the fan on i guess. one day ill get to the bottom of it.

but thanks for all the responses

I dont know how it works on a 2g, maybe it works like a 1g. If it does, the 1g has a thermostatic switch on the radiator, it triggers a relay and turns on the fan.

If it works this way, the best way to test would be at the relay.

interesting. worth a shot thanks

another thing to check is resistance through the wire to to ecu, I've ran into a few vehicles where the wire corrodes and/or breaks... or the connector right at the temp sensor could also have a bad connection.

that actually makes alot of sense i havent checked that. now to hunt down which wire goes to the ecu and what pin it is.
