COuld be your radiator is plugged.  Your fan would not run if coolant is
not getting through it.  Does it feel hot or warm after running for 10 or
15  minutes?

Subject:    Fan not working , would this screw it up too ?

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 ! .
