well do the lil speakerwire test of the fan to see if its even workin, "positive/negative wires to the battery to see if it gets power" an if ur switch is bad just jumper the switch so uf fan comes on with ignition an u should be all good...

You could also run the wires through a toggle switch in the cabin so your fan isnt always running

whats bad about having the fan always running..?? since my cars boosted im creatin massive more amounts of heat an havin my fan on all the time im pretty sure does me more good than bad... but i've had my fan setup like it is for quite a while now an it seems fine... i was just tryna give'm an alternative to spendin any money...

if you're running boost and need extra cooling thats fine i was just letting him know of other alternatives than wiring the fan to always run.

My D16Z6 in my '93 Si does that from time to time. Just a slight blip on the gas and it starts goin down usually. When my radiator blew I had to use a few autozone parts to get it runnin, one of which was a thermostat(Honda is 45 min away). I figured it may be that, and i'll probably try to get one tomorrow or next week.
