So my 2002 Pontiac fire bird 3.8l today when I started it to warm it up started just fine after roughly 20 seconds my fans came on I shut the car off checked my coolant every thing was good started the car same thing I let it run for a few mins drove it to wrck about 3 miles and my temp gauge never moved so obviously my coolant temp sensor but I guess my big question is is there a fail safe or something that causes the fans to run constantly when that goes out or could it be something else
