This lower temp engine will run rich and plug the cat in no time, along with causing driveability trouble before that. What you need is to get a conversion kit with a sensor that screws into the engine to monitor temps and actuate the relay only when needed. By doing so, you keep the engine cooled and at optimum temp. Others with a better reading of this schematic please feel free to correct what I have posted.

James_85_jr User Mar 25, 2010, 10:52 AM Post #5 of 5 (1630 views) Re: adding electric fan to mazda 929s Sign In i always thought the bolts broke because the fan was so heavy the thing weighed about 10 lbs and the bolts are the size of tooth picks when the bolts broke it wasn't like it threw the fan off the fan simply fell strait down like the engine started turning and the fan never had time to catch up   Automotive Repair     Auto Body Repair and Refinishing     Heating or AC Issues     Electrical and Wiring     Brake Systems     Car Stereo Repair Advice     General Discussions     Car Making Funny Noises     Engine Fault Codes     Engine Troubles     Exhaust Systems     Steering and Suspension     Transmission Troubles     Tricks of the Trade Automotive World     General Discussions     Antique Car Talk     Car Shows and Events     The Bargin Bin     Motor Vehicle Inspection     Car Care Tips     Traffic Tickets     Gasoline, Motor Oils, Concept Cars and Engines     Auto Insurance, Financing, Leases, Warranties Truck Repair     General Discussions     Truck Engine Repair     Truck Suspension Repair Motorcycle Repair     General Discussions     Motorcycle Engine Repair CarJunky     Open Posting     Board FAQ's     New Board Suggestions
