I just got a 1995 contour. It needed and engine, it overheated hard and the head was junk. I got the new engine in, runs great. Temp always ran good, right at a half, sometimes even below, good heat too. Last night was the first time I let it idle though, and as it sat in the driveway the temp went up. It was at about 3/4 when the fan came on. It seamed like high speed, really loud and only stayed on for a couple of seconds. also, when i turn the a/c on, nothing happens with the fan, but after a minute or so the fan pulses on again on high speed for a few seconds then goes off. Tonight i let it get hot again, just to see if the fan would come on, and noithing all the way to 3/4. I shut it off, the ater 2 min started again and the fan came right on, for a few secons again. this time the temp guage did not go all the way back to a half. it was a hair, literaly the width of the needle past a half. all i need to know is this normal. where is th gauge supposed to be at. when sould the fan be comming on. when shoud it come on, and at what speed. PLESAE HELP ME
thanks a million
