[quote=”nightflyr” post=192878]Purpose of a fan shroud is to direct the air flow over the radiator, you may experience heat issues when you remove it.
If what you are describing is true.
I would test the thermostat for proper function and that it is can fully closed.
A partially open thermostat would cause the issue(s0 you are describing.[/quote]As mentioned I don’t have a shroud at all. I’m wondering if putting one in may increase temp as it will restrict airflow through the rad. To an extent anyway.
[quote=”WyrTwister” post=192882]In general , you should have either a coolant temp sensor or possibility a block temp sensor . The ” computer monitors this temp and commands a relay to turn the electric fan on , when appropriate .
You might check out temp sensor .
But , as has been suggested , I would check the thermostat .
I have owned cars with 2 electric fans , that were bought on at different times , depending on the circumstances .

God bless[/quote]Hey Wyr thanks for the reply. Your spot on with your reply. Only thing is my car has had an engine swap done.
So….i have 3 temp sensors.
1xfor ECU located basically at the thermostat
1x for my temp gauge
1x for my electric fan controller.
These last two are located at the outlet of the head or upper radiator hose.This means the reading I’m getting at my fan controller is what is comming out of the engine, in my case 70*C.
I have my fan controller set to turn the fan on at 95*
I’ll add it’s summer over here in New Zealand.Hey Eric,
2000 Toyota Duet (Daihatsu Storia) engine check light on- P0500 code, Vehicle speed sensor issue. After some investigation I have found that this particular vehicle has a mechanical gear drive speedo drive into the transmission.
Any idea how the vehicle speed signal in transmitted to the ECU?Using my analyser the ABS wheel speed sensors are all working and quite accurate with the speedo and each other.
any idea where to go to from here to get the sorted as i’m at a bit of a loss.
Service manuals on the net are pretty non existent so i have no idea of the wiring for this little beast.
thanks
Mat.
keep up the good work.
Yup i tried that also. Used a nice common o2 b1 s1 but sadly still no go. Ive spoken to my supplier and he is sending another one to try out. Ill let you know.

[quote=”MDK22″ post=120658]Could be a lot of things. I would first check to see if the scanner is sliding off the port on the car. older cars and ones that have been hooked too a lot tend to do this. A ziptie holding the two together normally fixes this but be careful of the wires. It could be the scanner itself. Or it could be one of the wires behind the obs plug is shifted,cut, etc. That is where I would start look at those things and look at reviews of your scanner to see if its the scanner itself.[/quote]
All valid reasons however my Snapon scanner connected perfectly without ever having any issues.
Somthing i recall now is the new Foxwell scanner is bringing up a lot more PIDs where the snapon wouldnt show as much. Eg snapon wouldnt show the MAP sensor but Foxwell does.

That would be cool if you did find the video of the fiberous head gasket.
I have always enjoyed this side of the automotive business. Makes me want to get back into it.

I agree with the above. If your a real sound buff and looking for the best of the best crisp sounds quality then going and seeing a professional car audio installer may shed some better light on things and be able to recommend a great setup. I persoanlly cant tell the differnce between round and 6*9 speakers because i dont have the ear for it. However $20 compaired to $150 speakers will definatly produce cleaner sound. Also if your headunit is a basic factory unit then it may not be able to operate the speakers to their full potential. Agains a car audio specialist could clear this up nicely for you.

Great tool. I wish i had one on so mant vehicles ive had to diagnose.
If an engines got a blown headgasket into a cylinder can you see it with the camera?

Hmm a bit hard to tell exactly what it is.first make sure there is no single blade plugs further down the wire away from the sensor.
If there isnt it looks as tho it has a grey rubber outer that will slide back. That should show a 6mm or 8mm bolt that holds a eyelet terminal onto the sensor.
