Campbell0240 0 Posted April 19, 2006 Report Share Posted April 19, 2006 I've been starting my car an letting it idle on the drive its building up to low 80-s oil pressure and hitting 100-110 on the temp gauge and theres no fan kicking in? Only if i turn the ignition off then fan starts up so is that normal or should there be a fan starting before it hits 100+? Whilst the engines running?Just wanted some advice any quick tests to chekc the speeds and to basically know what should be happening so i can go from there? Link to post Share on other sites
