after replacing motormounts and plugs ect, i noticed occasionally my car would start overheating a little. not much. well yesterday it was overheating a little and threw a code, which turned out to be fan speed sensor. i popped the hood and the fan was nearly standinf still. i figured it was the clutch, but when it was running and i turned the fan i could hear it rubbing against the shroud around the fan. once ever rotation it would slightly rub the fan which was enough to slow it down and stop it. here is a video of what it is doing... it almost looks like the fan is bent because it isnt even. when i pull back on the shroud away from the fan the rubbing stops. if you listen carefullly you can hear it. i tightened everything down that i could get to, but am at a loss... is it possible to adjust the fan a little away from the radiator, or how will it affect the performance if i remove the shroud altogether? any help is appreciated.
