Re: running rich

I have a 1988 camaro. I haven't checked for an engine light code, but the check engine light turns on. the fan also doesn't turn on to cool the engine so i just turn on the ac.

Well, It’s Better Than Running Poor

Check for codes and report.

Re: Cooling fan not running.

Check the accuracy of the sensor that feeds the ECM.


Happy Racing!

When you see fog lights on in good weather beware. Low performance driver ahead.

How bout those nitwits too scared to drive without headlights in the daytime, and the nitwits that need headlights for a little rain
