Re: temperature
I have a 93 Firebird with 3.4....my car would get up to about 200-210 on a cool, overcast day. But on a hot day and in traffic, it would just about peg out the gauge before the fan would come on. I changed the coolant, the fan motor, the sending units, and the thermostat, still ran hotter than I felt comfortable with. I FINALLY decided to buy the manual fan switch from SLP, installed it (I put it in the ashtray), and havent had a moments problem since. Id say it runs anywhere from 160-180....regardless of the outside temps. Try it, youll probably be just as happy as I am. I think the switch and shipping was roughly $85 bux.
