Check engine light works when key switched on. No trouble code, check engine doesn't light when operating car. Real high idle at cold start, slows down some after running a few minutes, but still too high. Car will run 40 without touching gas. No power to fan when car heats up or when switching on defroster. I do get the everything ok code key on engine mkmoff.
Do you
have the same problem?

If no power to the fan and engine running hot
check fuses, relays, wiring and coolant sensor

Can you tell me what the control voltage from computer to the relay box fan relay should be and what color wire or which pin its on? Also I only see one temperature sensor mounted on the thermostat housing. The temp gauge in the dash works. Is there another temp sensor on the engine or is that the one the computer uses for idle control and fan operation?
