ok, what did i do wrong?

[sd88supra]

i put in my new electric fan into my 87 NA, and it still wont cool. im not sure how much air this thing is supposed to blow, but either its not blowing enough or im overlooking something. given that the car still cools a little by reving it, i was thinking it was something other than the fan. damaged water pump? im gonna inspect it tomorrow following the tsrm to see what i find.

also, with my fan on, my idle isnt as smooth as with the fan off. i did disconnect the ac fan; i wanted to run my new fan from there, but i found that the ac fan wasnt working. what electrical problem would that be? bad connection or malfunctioning fan? since the new fan didnt work either i think its electrical.

is there any place where there is good electrical diagrams? i think i might have to redo everything from scratch. help appreciated.

Ok, i do not know a whole lot about this motor, i had the same problem on my civic though. Buy reving it, it moves more water, so there for its usually not the pump, i could be wrong though on this setup. A good way to find out though, is just take some wire, hook one straight to the battery, and then to the positive side of the fan, then just ground it out, let it run and see what happens. Make sure you get the car a little warmed up first, cause it will take forever with the fan running when the motor is cold. If that doesnt do it, make sure the fan is spining the right way. Is the fan supose to be pushing from the front of the radiator, or pulling from the engine side. Some fans are designed one way. To be a pusher or a puller. Try that and it will tell you if there is a electrical problem, or the water pump. If im wrong on any of this, someone please correct me. Hope this helps.
