its on my 1990
temp gauge runs up to 240 but engine seems to feel nowhere close to that. Upper radiator hose is warm but not hot yet gets very hard. with cooling fans running there only blowing cold air. I can see coolant circulating inside that black recovery thing mounted by the firewall coolant seems to be running from one on the small hoses inside of it.
sorry but I'm new to one of these vettes so dont want to start replacing things blindly so thought I'de ask you opinion
while on the subject, doesnt this car have a thermal sensor to trigger the fans? I know I am getting power to the relays as well as an ignition feed to them however they will only run when the ground feed wire to both relays is grounded then both fans come right on.
