I need to do something about cooling down my engine. When it's warmed up it gets up to 210 and it makes the car feel much slower. I'm going to put in a 160* thermostat soon. I was wondering if there is a way to make the engine fans stay on at all times instead of doing the manual fan switch mod. I hope there is a way because I don't know if I can install the fan switch since I know nothing about electrical stuff.

Yep, I would certainly think that somewhere there is a written tech article that details how to do a manual fan switch so you can turn it on/off when you want. It's also great if/when you go to the track and need to cool down quickly.
Good luck,

I've seen some of the guides on how to install the fan switch and it still seems like it would be very hard for me to do. I don't understand electrical stuff at all. And also I just think it would be easier to have the fans just stay on all the time or come on at lower temperatures. Is there any easy way to do this?<a href=\"http://www.cardomain.com/id/sean37\" target=\"_blank\">Black \'97 Camaro</a> w/ CAI, catback
