I wasn't sure where to post this, but since this section is about the 3SGTE swap, I figured it would be fine to put it here. So, I wanted to know if at start-up, before turning the key to actually start the car, that the blowers should kick on.
Whenever I turn the key to the fullest just before it needs to be turned to start the car, my blowers kick on... Is this a problem that I should fix or is it something that I shouldn't be worried about? Please help with this and if you guys need a video of the start-up just let me know so you can see what exactly I am talking about. *Thanks -------------------- |

You mean the radiator fans? Its normal for a 3sgte swap in an st, because your st radiator doesn't have the temp sensor needed to know when to cycle the fans on/off, so your fans always stay on. Not a big deal.
If you ever have to replace the radiator, get a GT one and find a temp sensor for it from a junk yard. That would fix the problem. -------------------- 15PSI - 30MPG - Megasquirt Tuned
