I have multiple issues, hope you can help!!
1 - my fans do not come on when temp nearly redlines. fans also do not work with ac on. if i jumper them, they both will work. how do i diagnose if it is coolant sensor, relay, or ecm?? the thermostat is new. also, if i put a hypertech chip in, will that fix the problem (assuming it is inthe ecm)?
2 - car runs and idles great cold. when it gets around 200degrees or so, the idle surges, and will sometimes stall if i am at a stop. also, when this is happening, the idle does not change from Drive to Park, just keeps surging. when on the accelerator there is no problem. if it does stall it fires right back up. also when this happens the car smells very "gassy" exhaust. the engine light is not on.
3- my horn is messed up. it was missing the contact wire and horn pad, i got both of those and tried to install the wire with the spring and plastic connector, and the horns will stay on, even without the horn pad connected to the wire.
4- my oil pressure guage is reading low but i think incorrectly. it starts at like 10psi and barely moves with rpm and hen goes to 0 and stays when it's hot. oil is full and clean, engine runs good (aside from problem #2), and no noticable engine noise. is this a oil pressure switch??
THANKS TO ANYONE THAT CAN HELP! I LOVE MY IROC!!
