engine dying due to electric fan

TrailBeast said

Yep, stock round back.
That and a 600 RPM idle may very well kill the engine with 6-7 volts at the coil when the fan comes on.

This could be as simple as moving the switched power wire for the relay from what may be the "run" terminal of the ignition switch instead of the start or accessory circuit.

thanks for the input TrailBeast, not sure how to check that, electrical idiot here. I can say that the fan runs in the 'run' key position. even if the engine dies, the fan will continue to run (would that mean it's correct?). I will see if I can tell where it's hooked up for sure. if you can help with a test, I'd appreciate it. thanks again
