91 Si 4WS question

**narcoleptic** · 20-05-2005 06:33 PM

A friend of mine bought a 91 Prelude from a dealer today.

After he got home, he switched off the engine. (duh) A miniute or tw later, the radiator fan came on for 5~10 mins. He rang up the dealer, he said its normal for Prelude because it was designed to cool down the engine?!?! Is it true?

you will see a sensor mounted on the firewall near the intake manifoild, this was added as a recall later to the car to make the fans stay on.

engine bay temps were getting pretty hot and killing batterys premeturely

yeah, sometimes mine doesnt turn on straight away.. and when it turns on (2-3mins later) it makes my alarm go off :\
its a good feature though. its fun telling chicks that its cooling down my (imaginary) turbo.

I tell people the same thing. Only prob is with a turbo the engine bay temp gets that high the fans stay on for A G E S !!!
