I went auto xing today. While letting the turbo cool down, without shutting the car off after a run the engine temp went up. Well after shutting the car off the coolant was boiling out so I turned the car back on, I turned on the heater/ac at full blast. The temp didn't drop at all. None of the fans would go on when the ac/heater was on. The car twitched like it would turn on but I didn't notice the fans operating. When I turned the car off the front radiator fan kicks on, but that's the only time. The white fan behind the radiator just sits there.

My car is a 2003, i've searched for the recall and think I found the right number. Does anyone know if they will fix it since I've got the AEM EMS in the car now. I also have the temp sensor running into an autometer gauage. I got the car home safely. Driving it cooled it back down to 180, the needle was pegged at 250 when the coolant was boiling.

Wasnt their a fan controller recall?? i remember going in for that a while ago

 

its the fan controller recall. I need to get mines changed.

 

which controller is this? The rear one?

 

Yeah I've found the recall number. I was just wondering if they would still fix it with the AEM EMS installed and the sensor running into the autometer probe.

 

Well, its a recall, not a warranty repair.. so its just replacing the control unit, they would do that to satisfy the recall requirement..

 

I'll call the shop in the morning to have them order the part. Hopefully they don't give me a hard time about it.

I've got a 3hr drive up to Buschur tomorrow, I hope I don't run into any traffic jams on the way up . I'll just have to be careful and carry some coolant for the trip.

 

Well turns out my EVO wasn't part of the recall. June 2003 is the born on date of the car. I had to buy a new control unit which was $60.

 

Now that doesn't sound right to me. If there was a recall and lets say it was for ones made May 03 or before and your car has the same exact part fail has the ones included in the recall right? Sounds like to me your car has the same bad part has the ones made before yours. I would try to fight it just to make a point. Strange thing is mine is part of the recall but I never took it has I have no problem with it and I know they would want to void my warrenty for my mods.

 

i never experienced any overheating problems until 2 years later. I wonder what their gonna say when i come in with my car aem, and no maf and ect...

 

Does your car fall under the recall? If so I don't think you'll have a problem.

I pissed about them telling me my cars only recall was the weight sticker. I thouhgt I read somewhere it was for vechicles that were made in June 03 and before.

 

bring it back.

When the fan went crazy, did you guys throw a code by chance?
