Why does my Corvette LT1 overheat while driving?
U have an electrical issue. If water pump was failing then how in god’s creation could the two fans cool the engine down? Check out the circuitry that controls the normal fan operation and you will take care of the issue. Till you find the problem just hot wire the fan motor with an on/off switch.
What should the cooling temperature be on a 1984 Corvette?
1984 Corvettes will have the most noticeable improvement, as the factory cooling fan setting is 238 degrees. Lower temperatures will work at the expense of fuel mileage. There are various cooling fan control switches available to turn the cooling fans on earlier than the factory ECM or PCM controlled settings.
When to turn off the cooling fan on a corvette?
We recommend using a cooling fan switch that matches the thermostat opening temperature. For instance, our 244455 fan switch turns the fan on in the 200 degree range. When the engine coolant temperature drops below 185 degrees, the cooling fan is turned off.
What is the override switch on a corvette radiator?
Our 244502 (1984-93) or 244503 (1994-95) manually operated switch allows you to override the automatic switch for additional cooling while waiting in the staging area. “Why not run the cooling fans continuously?” Radiator cooling fans were not designed for continuous use and they will fail prematurely.
