What temp do the fans turn on at with stock switches?

 

Is this using the rad cap off method?

 

Yes, it's on the thermostat housing facing the firewall. check your fan switch sensor too.

 

Bleed using the Billman250 method, it takes a while but it is the best way I have used to bleed my system and it gets out the hard to get bubles that form in our sytems. I have a vented hood, mishimoto radiator, oem honda coolant, stock fans, oem fan switch, oem thermostat, water cooled turbo, and a front mount blocking it and cruising at 55mph my coolant temps dont go above 170 degrees on a 70 degree day. I hate to beat a dead horse but bleeding the system correctly is the biggest issue that I used to have mith my s2k and some of my friends s2k's. I hope this helps you out.

 

Good points. Yes, have the $ but I want to drive the car and that's been the issue lately as it's been in shop more than driving so I just didn't want to keep throwing $ at it endlessly. Hopefully the AL rad/fluid combo/bleeding will be the end

 

Only have stock temp gauge so can't really tell....need to go on one more drive today to see if fans are coming on at all !

 

Thanks to EVERYONE for their quick and helpful replies. Seems the fans/sensors & AIR/Bleeding needs to be checked ! Will advise if any other issues. Thanks again !!

 

have you verified the temps in aem when you get 4-5 bars? have you even looked at what temps its reporting back to you? aem v2 drives the dash gauge, but does it drive it just like stock or is it different like the modifry driver?

 

No, have not. All work being done by shop up to this point and just trying to understand. But like I said above, at 5 bars, it is spitting out coolant so I don't think it's just a malfuncting of the light....it does seem to be getting hot.

 

I would definitely hook the laptop up and find out at what temps your fan is to turn on and off.
