A/C, Heating and Cooling / Coolant woes...

« on: August 15 2012, 11:46:10 AM »

She was running a bit hot for my liking...  200 to 220 stuck in traffic..

Fan wasn't running decided replace both relays and delay relay...  Fixed the delay relay,  fan wasn't running under drive conditions...

But the fan now runs when hot when keyoff due to new delay relay..  So that at least functions as it should...

Bought gn1 radiator and dual fan,... 
Did more research found Mr.  Woods section on coolant sensor and ac compressor high pressure switch...

Ordered a new fan sensor switch installed still no fans under running condition...

Disconnected ac high pressure switch..  No fans,  jumping around high low relays, no go...

So tried settings my extender chip to race mode...  No fans..

Pulled high fan relay,  put a jumper wire across fans screaming and temp drops 200 ish to 160 in no time...

So delay relay is working as it should,  but fans under running condition are no go.


My ecu looks clean just installed logger didn't see any corrosion on any pins or contacts... Looks like I need to chase wires...

 
So questions are, with access high pressure switch unplugged should the fans still run via signal from ecu?



Edited for clarity, damn phone auto fill.

General Buick Tech / I need to listen to Steve. Wood because I am a semi noob thread. (story within a story)

I contemplated creating my own thread,  "all about my buick thread 2" but humility,  pride,  and the lack of self importance prevented me from doing so.

Damn it.....

So my pile is pretty good looking,... 

I bought her 2-3 years ago from a family I have known for 35 plus years.  The original owner had some tricks but kept her fairly stock... Any tricks and secrets I will know eventually. 

Story was a few years ago, I was looking at a t-type on flea bay.  Rare cream colored 87,  tan interior,  low mileage etc, etc...

At the time I think about a few different cars,  gn,   cts-v,  etc.  I had 9k burning a hole in my pocket.  Sent the auction to my friend John.  He shoots back "your looking at GN's?"... " mine and my dad's is for sale... ". 

I reply I can't afford yours let me look at your dad's.  I had no idea that the old man had this car.  I remember him taking us to car shows in his 66 chevelle when I was young and into high school..  (" Fat kid's in the front,  rest of you in the back ") .....

Will be post more about the GN and about the Chevelle tommorow.
