| The plastic nipple on my radiator intake hose broke so I ordered a new radiator and replaced it. I also found the rats had chewed some wires that went into the radiator, so I taped them up put on new hoses, rinsed some gunk out of the engine block and put stuff back together. However the electric fan doesn't come on and I overheat in about a mile of driving. Is there a way to check the fan or a fuse to see if it needs to be replaced? | |

| I had the dealer repair one window, I can't afford to have them fix the other three. Anyone ever try to repair them? They won't roll up. | |

Upon starting our engine, WARM, the idle immediately rises to about 700. Seconds later, the idle drops 200-300 RPM, the engine shudders for a second or two, then resumes smooth running at about 700 RPM. Technicians spent days trying to define and remedy the problem. They were unsuccessful. The corporation says the car is operating within normal standards. Any similar experience out there? |
