    Thanks for the pointers! Before I hook it up, I will put the volt meter on it and read the voltage. The schematic for the fan circuit is kind of dry and doesn't give much detail. The weather plug from the harness is intact but missing from the fan. I bought a new weather plug male and female...

    Need to cool off!

    I have looked at the wiring diagram and it is like Greek to me. Can someone snap a pic of their electric fan for me so I can see how the wiring is done? Or if someone can tell me what each wire goes to would be helpful. I am redoing this car and the fan was hotwired when I got it. Thanks!

    Speaker Box

    I really appreciate the input. I listen to the same kind of music myself. I just wanted it for shows. Seems like everyone likes to see stereo equipment. When I was younger I went for the big boom but now that I have kids I like a little quietness around. LOL Thanks again!

    Need some answers

    idle When I first crank it over it fires quickly. The TPS will do its job and kick the RPM's up as normal. When the RPM's fall back to an idle it will try to die. Sometimes it dies and other times it won't. I had an 86 GN that would do the same thing but the problem with it was the TPS. Changed...
