this would still leave me to believe the signal from that sensor, or the sensor itself is faulty. but what do i know.

johnchabin- i dont think he still has told us what the problem was. as far as i can tell, the fan relay is working properly, he just tricked it.
hope you figure out your actual problem. i have tried to give my input, but nobody sees what i am saying.

yeah, it seems you have only patched your problem, your temps are way too high still. Also when your mechanic changed the coolant, did they drain from the engine block as well? b/c you wont get all of the coolant out by draining the radiator itself.

I think rxrotary is right. You found a patch, but haven't fixed the problem.
You're forcing the fans on, rather than the control system doing it for you.
I don't have one, but I thought you could set at what temperature the fans come on with the PFC... Is it set too high?

electronics can be funny like that.
i am willing to bet money. but people on here who post questions with things like "$100 to who ever figures it out" donsent pay anyway. i think i am owed $300 so far...
btw, your welcome to all those who i figured out your $100 problems.
ya know what...go ask Rikki. he is always praises himself about how much he helps everyone. go see www.dontbearikki.com he has the answers for everything.![rolleyes](https://www.rx7club.com/images/smilies/rolleyes.gif)
he aparently also has the answers to save his *** from being banned, like putting blame on people he KNOWS are not at fault. he just doesnt like them cause they tell him to stop with the PFS **** already because it is old.
sorry to everyone. just had to get that out.

rxrotary, calm down. Just take a break man. I'm in agreemnet on the sensor thing. That seems like a prime candidate.
And for future reference, when I had a $100 thread, I payed the person who lead me to my problem. :P
