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 ! .
