make sure your tps is calibrated correctly

tps(throttle position sensor)

because if the motor is running the fan it raises the rpm to compensate for the added draw from the alternator to power the fan....but if the tps is wrong and the fans are not running the motor will not compensate for the accessorie being powered.....so it maybe just leaning out and dieing
