over the past year or so ive had to change my thermostat on my gsr at least 2 or 3 times, it will randomly stop working for no reason, im using a vtec del sol radiator in my hatch to cool down the engine, is that a possibility of why the thermostat doesn't open up properly, this usually happens at idle when the car is just sittin at a stop for a minute or so, the fan won't kick on because the thermostat aint openin? please send me some feed back of what you think might be the problem?? thanx

 

You could always get an electrical fan switch, I have one in my AE86. Works great, it takes much longer to get the car up to temp though. I am thinking maybe you have a bigger issue on hand than a thermostat, not sure what though.

It might not be your thermostat... Your relay, or fan switch may be bad...
