That's exactly what I was doing once I learned this trick. Last week I got a low temp fan switch from Corvette Central and had it installed and wired to both fans (took 1 1/2 hours to install). Now the fans come on at 200 and off at 185. This is without a doubt the best investment I've made.

I jumped A & B together and got nothing but 12 flashing for a total of six times. (3 short pauses, then very long pause, 3 more short ones). The car was in the shop Tuesday through Thursday and I know that they had the battery unhooked while some of the repairs were done, so if there were...

That's what I am hoping also. I'll do a quick and dirty code check and see if there are any codes. I'll have to find someone with a scanner to do a real scan just to make sure before I'll be completely confident that the gauge is this far off. I really appreciate your help with this..

Yes, if the a/c trick is accurate, the fans come on at 231 and go off at 217. Under normal driving, the temp is 188 which should be very close with the 180 thermostat. Edit to add: Supposed to be: The primary fan should come on around 228* and the secondary fan comes on 235*

Okay, took the car for a nice long drive to get it nice and hot. Here is what the gauge shows when the fan comes on: You can see my concern. I did the auto a/c trick and it shows 111 Celsius which would translate to 231 degrees. Now of course I need to find out how accurate the a/c trick...

I just read that if I hold the up and down arrows on the ac controller for 5 seconds 00 pop on the controller. Scroll up to 16, push the fan button, and a number will show. This number is the engine temp in celcius. Multiply that number by 1.8 and add 32...to get degrees in farenheit. My...

I've had the car 2 years. It's always done this, but in the last month the water pump began leaking which led me to fix the things mentioned. Since replacing the water pump and thermostat, it takes longer for the motor to hit that 250 ish mark than it did in the past, but it still does it. If...

Here is my 91 coupe. It's my 5th Corvette, and the first automatic. After my 2nd knee surgery I had to get out of my 4 speed big block and move to another vette. I bought it just over 2 years ago and while it has sometimes been a labor to love, I have grown to really love my little C4.

I have a 91 coupe that has been running way too hot lately. Just this week, I had the radiator taken out and flushed and cleaned (no debris found as I try to clean the outside regularly). New water pump, new thermostat, new intake manifold gasket, all new hoses installed. While driving the...
