My assumption in the old days was the thermostat opens at 180 then the car would work to maintain that 180 temp. No computers back then so what told the fan to kick in or just freewheel as the work load on the engine changed. The fans and thermostat are still a big part of the equation but the computer tells the fan when to run and when not to and for how long, right? The thermostat opens at 180 or 195 and the fan would have to be set to maintain that temp is what you guys are saying. |
