you really need the Helm Factory Service Manual.
It sounds like someone added a manual override to the fan. |

Is the A/C on?. If so the fan will stay on all the time.

OK this is courtesy of a poster on another forum. It's the cooling fan diagnostic chart from the factory manual. This should give you an example of how valuable the factory service manual is:
http://members.shaw.ca/corvette86/Cooling%20Fan%20Control.pdf I'd print this or save it to your computer if I were you. No telling how long it's going to be up. |

Pappy, the right head is the sensor youre after, the left head has the one for the gauge on the dash. The one in the block is a knock sensor.

The 84 uses the temp sender in the right head and grounds the wire to turn the fan on. Only C4 that doesn't use the ECM to ground the fan. Also the temp sender for the digital gauge is on the opposite side on the 84 and 85 than for the 86+.
Check and make sure the wire for the temp sender in the right head is not grounded somwhere. If not, look for a switch inside the car for a manual override. Does the SES light blink when the key is turned on or does the SEs light come on when the key is ON? |

pappyfreebird, had a hard time reading your post. The SES (Service Engine Soon) light will come on when the key is turned to the ON position but should go off after the engine is started. Just wondering if the light stays on and if you have pulled any DTC's (Diagnostic Trouble Codes).

I simply cant make head nor tail out of any of it mate im sorry, but youre going to have to make a better effort with your diction.
On an 84, the only sensor in side of the block is the knock sensor. Nothing to do with temps or fans on your model. There is no SERVICE ENGINE SOON light on an 84 either as far as i know, the Malfunction Indicator Lamp on your model probably says CHECK ENGINE instead. |

I don't know if this illiterate is stroking people or if he really has a problem. I think 'nawt" means "not". If typing is difficult for him, I would think 3 letters would be easier to type than 4. Single letters,"r" for "are", for example, are either just plain lazy, ignorance, or a total disregard for the ease of reading, by the people he is asking for help, if he really is. If someone wants help, don't give the the knowledge pool a double challenge; first decoding the question and second, answering the decoded question. I have answered and written the solution to the original question, as it was asked on that old, less popular forum, where he originally posted it. He isn't smart enough to construct a sentence, but he is so smart he can refute the true solution to the problem as originally asked.

Not that my opinion matters but I will give it. You're typing is worse than mine and I use abbreviations because I instant message. I can understand what your typing because I see it so often. People think your a troll and that you're here just to stir trouble and take up space which whether you are or not, is none of my business. I did see your post at another forum as well and it did not seem to go well for you there. If your typing is as bad as it seems, there are programs that let you talk into a microphone and the computer types it for you. Sorry, I have no other input on your problem though. Goodluck with it.

Spell check passed on it. Both "afore" and "mentioned" are words, I assume that's why it missed them. I assume you know I was just yanking your chain, I am one of the many, many people that you've helped in the past, and I find your reprimands of those who deserve it quite amusing. I come from a long line of english teachers, and therefore one of my biggest pet-peeves is poor grammar and punctuation. In addition, today's text message generation are doing they're lazy best to ruin written language with abreviations and slang. It burns me, and I'm not even a crotchety old man yet. |
