before ignition on the second switch the fan turns on... takes my car a long time to warm up, up to 30 mins and temp gauge rises for about 5-10 mins and then drops. what can i check to make my fan work normally?? would i need a new thermostat?

 

Check the fan switch, it's a 2-wire plug on the thermostat housing. If you unplug it, then the fan should quit running like that. If so, get a new switch.

If that doesn't make it stop, then you'll have to check for a stuck fan relay or something.

 

ya when i unplug it the fan stops... how do i do this relay procedure??

 

somebody probably hooked it up that way. did you just buy this car? many people just hardwire it up this way as a band-aid fix for a bad fan switch or bad fan relay.

 

no actually the same wiring setup was working fine with a b16 motor... i just changed the block to a b18c1 and now the fan is always on...

 

replace the fan switch...

You've found the problem.

Replace the fan switch. Be prepared to put the new one in quickly, then you won't lose much antifreeze from the hole.

 

THANKS

 

does the fan switch matter on wat motor i have or i just ask for a 94 civic hatch vx fan switch? b16head,b18cblock,si tranny??

 

I guess you ask for the one that goes for your block, since the thermostat housing is kinda like part of the block.

I bet they're all the same anyway...
