Hi Guys,
Having driven to Edinburgh tonight, approx. 50mile round trip checking the temperature etc. I found that with using the IPK? 19-7 the temperature started at 29 and rose to 82 and stayed there at a constant 70 mph @ 2300rpm, started to rise to 86 when in standing traffic at t/lights and then stayed at 84 constantly and I had the econ on as well, or as I thought.
Upon arriving home got out to check if the fan was running with econ on, but it was not. Ran the engine with the econ OFF and the fan runs quickly as at first speed of 2 speed fan with gold resistor and fairly quiet in operation as I know it was quite noisy prior to the engine replacement as you could really hear it which I assumed to be operating at speed 2, but this was fairly quiet as you had to look in by the radiator to know it was running. After turning the ignition off the fan stopped.
I am now in a quandary as to how to proceed in respect of the engine running temperature, is it safe or should it be looked at, I mean the motor runs smoothly and the kick down works better that it ever did, only tried this twice for short periods!
It obviously seems that there is a wiring fault in respect of the econ operation working when switched off and not working when switched on, crossed wires?
Thanks in anticipation for any thoughts and assistance given on these issues. Jim
