amby, you need a new fan switch relay. $60 from the dealer 2 minutes to install.

 

Isn't that what the recall covered? If this one's not working right it should be under warranty.

 

It is the same thing that the recall covered.. but i had problems with mine again and that is what caused my bad idle in city driving my fan wasnt turning on.
They should cover it under warranty.

 

Ok cool, I'll call the dealership and get this dealt with.

 

I am thinking the idle speeds up to pump the water faster to cool it down because the fan is not kicking in when it should.

 

I checked on the fan thing, and that's definitely it. Even with it being 26 degrees out the fan isn't coming on. Hopefully I'll get this dealt with this week.

 

Ok I got the car booked in for tomorrow. It was pretty funny, when I called the dealership and said I needed my car looking at, the first response was "well right now we're looking at Tuesday or later". Once I told him my problem however, I was booked in immediately.

 

they probably know that it only takes a couple of minutes to fix and that they are idiots for not correcting the damn problem with the fan switch yet.

I dont know what the recall accomplished; replaced one faulty switch with another faulty switch.

 

I took the car in today, and 99$ later, it's still not fixed. They don't think its the fan controller since the fan appears to be coming on intermittently like it should be. Currently they're leaning towards a vacuum leak.

 

Could it be the throttle body? I just read some posts from people with similar problems and they also had a bored throttle body installed. I think this issue started around the same time I got the TB installed, which just so happened to be around the same time I got the recall done.

 

Anyone?

 

Can you measure vacuum? Mine runs at 20-22 depending on the weather 19-20 on rainy days. If its leaking I would guess you would show signifcantly less.

 

You apparently are having cel issues what are the codes that are present?

 

The CEL associated with the header. I just got back from the dealership and it looks like they fixed it. Apparently the throttle line was getting stuck.

 

Im not sure but didnt u use seafoam? Could that have anything to do with it? jst throwing out ideas....i could be wrong...
