SO usually it was during the day 100 degrees outside. The water pump thermostat and temp sensor are all less than a year old also the fan clutch is the same, all ACDelco except the fan. Last year I pulled a boat to Laughlin and it went to 3/4 had to turn air off and heater on on those hills but it was 110 degrees outside. When I got back I replaced all the above.
So today went the same route that takes me through the cyn and it has a little uphill temp went up to 227 with or without the air on. On the freeway it also went up to 216 and at the light off the freeway went down to 209. The clutch does engage with air on and disengages after 1-2 minutes with it off. I don't know it it's only 2 speeds on the fan or whatever the normal is, I know disengaged you can stop it with a rag and engaged not that easy. Coming back at dask temp at 89 degrees the car ran at 199-203 the whole time with or without the air on. It actually went to 207 at the light.
I ordered another fan and will put it on tomorrow to at least try something.
It's weird cause the ac sometimes turns on by itself and have to press OFF to shut it down.
Cat converter 2 years old, car is not driven that much, maybe 3k miles on it since all have been changed.
Just to clarify, did you mean you replaced the fan clutch? Or you removed the OEM fan, and installed an e-fan in its place?
Yes I removed the oem and installed a replacement from Amazon, which worked ok. Water pump was also replaced ACDelco with thermostat and temp sensor. Cat converter replaced 4k miles ago after market. Old one was completely plugged up. I have evap P0440 code that's been there for years, replaced everything related to it all the way to the tank and the metal filler gas tube that you use to fill at the pump. But I heard it might have a leak right at the tank where the metal tube goes in. there is a fix that cost 150 dollars haven't done it yet.
