I've recently purchased a '90 Carat.  The high speed on my engine cooling fan seems to "kick in" prematurely, as when running at freeway speeds on a warm (but not oppressively hot) day.  When this occurs, the temp. gauge seems to be running at about it's mid-point, and no where near the "blinking light" range.

I'm wondering if this is normal, or if any of you have experienced a similar situation.

Thanks,
