where to start........... first off i guess....... fan doesnt stopped working.... engine runs about 200 little over but fan doesnt work....... best ways to fix or see what needs to be fixed......... and starting...... today i started my car just fine let it run about ten mins and then drove it about 10 blocks away shut it off to fill up and went inside to pay came back out and it would turn over.. rpm would get up to about 1000 mph would jump up between 5-10 and then it would it click and do it again...... plz help thanks in advance

Those 2 statements have me confused. Which fan are we talking about.


For the starting problem please disconnect the battery cables and check for corrosion. Report back with your findings.

Better yet, disconnect and clean all ends of all battery cables. This is our #1 piece of advice lately. Your starting issue sounds like it'* either a bad connection or a battery that isn't fully charged.

On the fan issue. It is winter and you mention 200F degrees. The low speed fan comes on at around 215F and the high speeds at 226F.

bring up my other post....................... cleaned cables too.............. fans are my least worry.......... i HAVE to get to work and school

Your fans shouldn't come on at 200. And I don't understand what you're trying to say about them, either. You don't make any sense.

Turn your AC on Auto. Do both fans come on?

well this topic........... it started rough............. other topic........it doesnt start at all................. sorry for double posting

Follow the advice already listed above.

Pull the boots off your battery cables and clean the corrosion.
Do your fans come on when you put your ECC on Auto?

Then come back.

We're not going to have you split your replies into two different topics about the same starting issue. Our gearheads are busy enough that they don't need to hunt back and forth.

already cleaned corrosion off yesterday

We have dozens per month. Did you REMOVE THE RUBBER BOOTS? You HAVE to do that. We get 12 cars a month with this same problem.

You need to remove the boots and clean the corrosion that you can't see by simply disconnecting your cables and pulling the boots. You need to remove and disassemble each end of EVERY black and red battery cable. At the alternator, starter, and battery, and each and every ground location.

Do your fans come on when your ECC is in AUTO?

oh.......no on the boots....... and i cant check the fans......... its 10:30 pm here and about 5 degrees and my car is across town and my mom is in bed
