Subject:      Fan not working , would this screw it up too ?
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

Question

My fan is not working, just figured that out now .. didnt htink they had one .. :) .

now i donno why its not working checked all the fuses seem all good.. now i want to test the motor .. now there are 3 wires off of it.. correct me if im wrong

red - positive red with strips - control brown - ground

hows that sound

would this be a part of my cooling , air problem ?

is there is a leak in any of the hoses would that bring in air too ?

and .. i stripped the bleeder bolt is it ok to just tap a new one and use a new bolt . i dont see why not but u never know

and also now ... could it be vacum that is puttin in air .. cause the engine would rev and and down , up and down then stall .. i know thats vacum i donno what one but ill have to figure that one out . but would that add to the air in the cooling system ?

and other note to consider, what does this mean .. when i have the expashion cap on and the engine is warm but not running i get nothing out from the bleeder .. now when i took the cap off .. all of a sudden the bleeder starts apissin ! never tyred this when the engine is running but .. could this mean something is wrong with the cap ... not venting of something . and when the cap is off i loose heat slowly

what do yea make of this ... eveything ... crazyness

im still fishing !! .

thanks of everyones help so far ! .
