forgot to mention i also pressure tested the cooling system

[Ondonti]

you did compression tests on ALL the cylinders?

btw if you are driving the car you dont need the fan. The fan is for when the car is sitting still or moving very slowly.

[TimTona]

yes all 6 cylinders had good compression could it be something inside the optispark distributor shorting out when it gets hot? i had a car one time that had a crack in the dist cap and it would arc only when it got hot and theres alot of traffic where i live so im sitting still most of the time or barely moving

[Ondonti]

well at least you are getting possibilities out of the way.

so your fan doesnt turn on?
Ive got coolant temp electrical problems with my duster.

[TimTona]

it used to turn on last summer but now it doesnt i jumpered the fan relay and it turns right on ill probably stick another relay in and see what happens, its got a newer coolant temp sensor so its probably not that doesnt autozone sell thermostatic switches where you put the probe through the radiator fins and dial in the temp you want the fan to turn on im thinking ill try that after the relay but thats not gonna fix the slight missing problem it has when you start it and gradually grows thats whats making me think its an ignition related problem, having magnecor wires ngk v power plugs a shorter coil wire and an msd coil be just too much for the stock distributor?

[Ondonti]

I have a ford 5.0 coil that packs more punch then the msd coil and it has never been a problem as far as that kind of issue goes.

Tim....I forgot to mention what I was saying was for a short term thing. Like until you figure things out. Though I have seen many vehicles driven for years without them with no ill effects.
Oh and Ondorki...I said exactly what I meant to say to Tim in my post other than the part above. If you can't handle it....thats your issue. "You make an Iraq invasion out of going to the shooting range!" on way too many things. Try backing off the caffeine, please. Have a nice day.

Check on page 1 cause i said this like 15 times.

I now have been enlightened by the truth. It is sort of Like the allegory of the cave. Im glad you took me away from watching the shadows on the wall and allowed me to see the deeper meaning behind what I had been saying and the reality of it all (the light).



BTW, now I need an explanation of how running without a thermostat will prevent Tim's engine from overheating when the fan does not work. I am ready to be blown way by truth mr Plato

[TimTona]

okay so explain to me why everyone on this site acts like they know everything about these cars? if even 10 people on here knew or thought they knew 100 percent of these motors some new person is gonna come along and still teach you something. when i was in college my professor said no matter how much you know if you dont keep your ears open to other people you are only hurting yourself so keep that in mind guys before you start name calling and other immature bs because somebody is gonna get pissed and they mite have the answer to your question someday and give you a bs answer that keeps you looking in the wrong direction for a few hours or days instead just to cause you problems because it is very much more clever than just name calling or insults my friend mark has a t2 daytona that he converted from na and he used to be part of this forum untill people started being arrogant and conceited and guess what??? hes not part of this forum anymore thats how this group loses members. the less members =the less knowlege, help and opinions so lets try not to self destruct what we have here theres something for everyone to think about

[Ondonti]

your friend probably didnt know about the secret rule that it is socially illegal to convert an n/a 2.2/2.5 to turbo.
95% of replies to such a topic will be negative

Holy run on batman....

[irocelectric93]

There isn't one period....period

[TimTona]

yes i am lazy when i type sort of like sending text messages on a cell phone i see it as a waste of time to type periods capital letters commas, etc you still fully understood what i said and by the way why is it unacceptable to convert a na to turbo that should demand more respect than someone that just went out and bought a turbo car because they have time involved instead of just money there are plenty of ricers in my area that have their bolt ons even done for them and even if they beat me in a race i give them no respect DO THE WORK YOURSELF ITS MORE REWARDING!!!!

[TimTona]

and why do you feel so high and mighty mr. ondonti? according to your profile you have a turbo 3.o now knowing that the 3.o in our cars diddnt come turbo you had to fab just as my friend did how would you feel if everyone bad mouthed you for your hard work?
