  • Fans running nearly continuously on my 92 RS

    The motor itself runs flawlessly. But it never reaches a temperature above 150 or 160 degrees. The fan runs most of the time (probably 95% of the time). The computer has been modified with a hypertech performance chip. I had read that part of the chip's purpose is to make the motor run cooler, is that true? Their concept of making the motor run cooler for a colder charge of air is a load of crap in my opinion but just wondering. I do still have the stock chip but haven't swapped it out for comparison yet. But would also like to use the aftermarket chip i guess.

    My main question is, has anyone else come across the problem of the fans running continuously? or anyone know a reason why they would. My assumption is the culprit is the hypertech chip or also the fact that the person who had the car before me may have put the chip in along with that 160 degree thermostat that you are "supposed" to match with that chip. No way of knowing what the guy before me did to the car, really.

    well the best way to know abotu the thermo is replace it they arent that much what like 20 buck max my mom has a 92 vert and we just put a toggle switch and dual fans on it so we pretty much regulates how cold it runs and a 160 thermo so the motor normally runs pretty cold and plus its good cause in the winter you can let the motor run a little hotter to run a little better the thing runs like poo in the cold it takes 20 minutes just to start it HAHAH well good luck with that hopefully i help out a little
