I never knew that. Thanks for the heads up.

I was doing a cooling system repair on a Taurus today and had to look up which coolant it was supposed to have (apparently "mud" isn't a color) and ran across this on a Taurus forum.... "Do not use Prestone universal in any Taurus. This is an Organic Acid Technology (OAT) coolant. The Prestone...

Really? Are you even going to say what the problem was? You know, add to the knowledge base and help the next guy?

Didn't you say you tried them both with the same results?

Hey Del, he said he flushed and filled his coolant. Think he air pocketed somewhere?

That's a catch can, not an overflow if I read that right.

The key in the diagnosis is the statement that it cooled at speed before the conversion to an electric fan. I didn't catch if it was thermostat controlled. It might just be as simple as that. If the fans are still powered at road speed, they could just be acting like a big spinning wall. Try...

Take the tools your mom trained you with. If the heels don't work, use the butter knife.

Maybe, I've seen some custom wazoo crossflow radiators that weren't worth the urine you could fill them with.

Nice job. Are you gonna give a step by step on this install?

That radiator lists for about a hundred bucks at O'Reilly's. Go new and forget about it.

If it makes you feel better, I'm heading up on 50 years walking this earth. Been turning a wrench since I was big enough to pick one up. Broke my first starter about six months ago. On my car. Stranded in a parking lot. On a slant six. Couldn't be an easier starter swap and couldn't have mucked...

So now that I just spit my tasty beverage on my keyboard, let me know how that works out for you. (The ECU, you're kinda on your own with the store brand balls).

What? Put down your purse son and reset that ECU. It ain't going to hurt it and I am pretty sure it is NOT the compressor.

So, due to my computer retardation, try this for a relay diagram...

New model engines work better at around the 200 mark. I wouldn't worry about that at all. Did you get the fan mod done? Did you try the reprogram on the evap controller? You're duct temp ain't bad, but I'm thinking there is room for improvement. Maybe wait until this silly weather mellows out a...

Brotherman, you are always cool, we'll just see if you'll be sweating.....

Any news?

No worries at all. Let us/me know how all this works out for you. You started a good thread with great info that can help the next person down the road. One of these days I'll catch up to you at one of the flings.

OK. Here we go. The grey wire gets grounded for the calibration proceedure. I usually just attach a spare wire to it and touch the bare wire of the other end to a ground when you're calibrating. 1. Turn the ignition on. 2. Move the controls to the "High" position. 3. Connect the ground wire...

Hang in there, I'll grab an instruction sheet from work today and run it down for you tonight.

Gen IVs are controlled by a microprossesor. They need a base calibration of the controls. Look next to the twin relay packs. There should be a grey wire with a red connector on it. If it's there, it's programmable.

Yep. Also make sure your evap drain is at a down angle and not straight to the firewall. Does the compressor cycle at all? It should cycle occasionally. I know you have your heater by-passed, so I'm still on the mixing being off. I'll find the programming instructions tomorrow. Perhaps that...

Ahem. Jump the blue wires together on your trinary switch.

You could just temporarily jumper the two wires on the trinary for the fan together...... (should be two blue wires and two green. I don't use trinaries a lot, so I don't remember which pair control the fan).

I will be interested to hear what the solution is.

I'm still going with the mixing theory....

x2. It's the compressor that VA sells with their kits and works very well with their systems.

I'm gonna guess that you had oil put in it then, otherwise you'ld be posting a thread about a compressor making some odd noise or not turning at all.
