You actually touched on something I was noticing - I think that I am only getting the High speed fan kicking in.
I don't have the little toy you are refering to, I am new to the whole "garage thing" but slowly aquiring the goodies. My neighbor has one I think though, so I might harass him.
Anyway, thanks to the FAQ and HOW TO sections on this FABULOUS site I was able to
"easily"
change the PCV. I wonder how anyone could like working on these things... Contours that is... Maybe I am just a bit bitter at the wasted 3 hours.
So Now I can add the PCV to the new parts list.... I haven't seen the CEL since the last Friday (after the mechanic first looked at it), but the Temp gauge going all the way to the L really un-nerves me.... What eles could it be... Shouldn't the new ECT control both of the two speeds of the fan?
New O2 sensor, and Thermostat plus heat in the car means I am getting coolant flow right.... So I shouldn't be looking at my pump or anything like that right.
I think the new PCV has improved my idle--moderately, but little else. I don't think I have any vacuum leaks but even if I did it would really only affect my idle not my temp right?
10 degrees doesn't seem like much of a difference for the low and high fan.... But the temp needle passes right on by N O R M and A before the high speed fan kicks in... so maybe the low speed fan actuation isn't occuring??? How to know/ test???
Thanks again for the comments and the place to vent....
