LuminaPower92 Posted April 20, 2007 Report Posted April 20, 2007 Hey sup peeps Quick Question What I got here is a 98 Monte Carlo with a 3.8 L and the fan runs continuously, You pull the relay out and it shuts off. Is there an open in the circuit? Any body experience this before? Also my other question was when you go to start it, it starts but shuts off right away, and kinda has a sound of a vacuum just before it shuts off, like a leak or something. Any Ideas, maybe out of gas? Thanks in advance\ Brian Quote
Euro Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 Do both fans run constantly or just one? A few days after I got my GP both fans were on at all times. The t-stat was stuck in the open position. Quote
LuminaPower92 Posted April 21, 2007 Author Report Posted April 21, 2007 just one the driver side, and it runs even if the car is turned off Quote
ron350 Posted April 21, 2007 Report Posted April 21, 2007 The PCM gives the cooling fan relay ground turning the fan on. The temp sending unit can be bad telling the computer the temp is over 212*. The PCM can be bad. You can have a wire grounded between the PCM and the temp sender or between the PCM and the relay. Quote
