I've read the other posts on this issue, but something's come up that's a little different.
Ok, so the history. Driving one day, my fan gave out and shattered the shroud. Oddly, not the engine mounts...there's plenty of clearance...the fan just gave out. I was fortunate, no hood damage, no radiator damage...just fan and shroud. I should mention it's an 82 Spider.
No problem, ordered replacements from IAP and had my mechanic install. He also flushed my rad, cleaned it with a hose and installed a new rad cap.
Unfortunately, the car now runs around 212 at speed when it used to never go above 180-184.
Here's the interesting part. When are turn left, the temperature goes down...when I turn right, the temperature goes up. What's with that?
I haven't checked the thermostat or the sender unit yet, but wanted to diagnose this oddity before going forward.
Any ideas? Thanks, as always, to this incredible board for all the help I have received.
