Quick Note On Cooling Fans

["Jim" <ultra@xxxx>]

I would like to add a quick note of real life DeLorean experience 
running on one cooling fan. Since I bought my car in August 2000, my 
drivers side cooling fan has been 100% inoperable. Several times, 
while sitting in greusome Minneapolis traffic (without AC on), I 
constantly monitored my temp gauge. Everything monitored normally. 
The temp gauge was exactly between 220 and 160 when the one fan kicked 
in on its own, and while I do admit it didn't cool down the engine 
real fast, it DEFINATELY kept it from heating any hotter. I dont want 
to endorse or bash any one product, since they all serve their 
usefull purpose, but I am the kind of guy who likes making his own fix 
for most things. I reworked my OEM Lock Module, and I am building my 
own fan relay/monitoring system. Of course, I am going to investigate 
why my one fan isn't working, and get it fixed. But that will wait 
untill April, when everything else gets done to it.
