1997 Olds 3800 series II N/A .. help

[JoeJetta89]

Hello.

My car has a 180* thermostat. The electric fans, however, are set to the stock setting of 220* or so before they come on, obviously this heatsoaks the engine, and defeats the purpose of the thermostat.


WHAT DO I HAVE TO BUY, and HOW HARD IS IT to get the freakin fans to work correctly, who can help me with this problem

My car is stock, aside from the thermostat..

Thanks,
Joe

Bill,

I'm going to try to read the program out of his car and if I can, I'll e-mail it to support in hopes of it being the same VCM/OS as a supported car and just needing the VIN number corrected.

Thanks,
Mike
