HELP ! no thermo fans and flooding

Post by Vulpes »

I dont get it, just when I think I got everything sorted anothe rgremlin rears its ugly head. Thank God its not my daily driver. I would have a VIP bus pass. I have no fans at all. I turn on the AC and even the AC fan doesnt come on. My temperature gauge is reading zero all the time. I swapped the fans for newer ones. Nothing, checked and double checked ALL connections. Is there a relay or fuse somewhere because I sure cant find it. It also wont start, i have heaps of spark but it smells like its flooded, any ideas ??

you may find that either your fan relay or the actual temp sensor in your radiator has had it.

flooding - no spark. pull off coil lead from coil, then crank motor, if you have spark there then its a problem with leads dizzy or plugs.

if your temp gauge isn't working as well then its your sensor thats shot.

as for smelling flooded, if a starion is cold doesn't it over-fuel until its up to running temp?

Smells flooded??? Sure you don't have a fuel leak?

Ok, took me two days but I found it. I replaced the following in quest.
Every relay in the whole car
Checked every fuse
Checked all connections
Replaced sensor in radiator
Replaced ECU
Replaced bothe thermo fans

Turns out under the glove box there are some more relays. Just next to the relays are two old fashioned plastic fuse holders that hold two 10 amp glass fuses. They were both blown !!!

Still looking into my hard to start and flooding problem. Seems WOT helps when starting.
