Crimson Fury Z Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 ok this problem has surfaced again from a 1 1/2-2yr hiatous. everything runs smooth till its time for the fan to kick in. its like its draining juice just to kick on. watching the rpms at 900 then when it happens it drops and struggles to hold. the ben chip masked it till now. i want to say maybe the fan relays. what do you all think?

Justin Posted February 25, 2005 Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 I had a fan going out on my '92 Z, the drivers side. It got so bad it would kill the car when it was sitting there idling. FYI, the drivers side 3.4 fan is very expensive.... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Fury Z Posted February 25, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 25, 2005 yes!! it dies at idle when it kicks in!! i'll get a jy fan before getting a new one!! Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Justin Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 There is a difference in my car, they won't interchange at all, and the drivers side is also different from any of my 3.1/2.8 fans. Passenger side looks the same, but I think that one's more for the AC or something, it doesn't kick on as much. Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlsp Posted February 26, 2005 Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 i am going with some cheap new fans off of ebay that are the same size max diameter i can put in my cutlass. 40 for 2 new fans is a pretty good deal seeing how they want 25 for one electric fan at the junky yard i go to :?

Crimson Fury Z Posted February 26, 2005 Author Report Share Posted February 26, 2005 now i believe the foul is a plug throwing a code 42, which i don't have the haynes on me to see what it is. more to come.......... Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

ShockTherapy Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 EST sounds like a possiblityty, and james, who's selling those fans ? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
5speedz34 Posted February 28, 2005 Report Share Posted February 28, 2005 Isn't 42 the knock sensor or is that 43....? Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Crimson Fury Z Posted March 1, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 43 is the knock sensor one. got it diagnosed as the ignition control module. as for the stalling and poor starting, dirty throttle body. $360 something all together. $165 for the ICM alone :shock: looks like the Zone's $80 ICM is looking good Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
cutlsp Posted March 1, 2005 Report Share Posted March 1, 2005 EST sounds like a possiblityty, and james, who's selling those fans ? i don't know i haven't checked in a long time because i haven't needed a fan motor i just looked on ebay and saw em :oops: Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Crimson Fury Z Posted March 5, 2005 Author Report Share Posted March 5, 2005 now the mother fucker is parked at CVS 20 minutes away from home! the shitcan started sputtering and surging while driving and stalling like a madman. i sure hope the fuck that the ICM needed to cool down. no matter how hard i hit the gas it try to react, but sputtered and backfired. i really dont know if i should even take the time to fix it or spend the money to have it fixed. i know for sure that i'm bailing on the exhaust plan, and any other mod plan on it. most likely try to get rid of it. so i might have a car for sale and maybe a magnaflow 2.5" in/outlet aluminized 5x9. who knows right now.................

BETTER be the problem. had to car dolly it back and break the lower front g-fx to get it up on it, but the good ole yard still has 2 red zs to pilfer from Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
