Hey everyone! I'm going to give some background first so you have all the info you need. If you dont want to read that just skip the next paragraph. I've had an 2003 IS300 for over a year now. Its a project car.
When I bought it, for 500, it wasn't running. Took me and my buddies about 8 months to figure it out (hard to schedule 3 people, working on it like once a month). Once it ran it had 3 misfire. THREE! Two were caused by a valve cover gasket, the other a bad wire.
So, now the car runs. It can drive. HOWEVER it was wanting to overheat. We found out the waterpump wasn't working so we did the whole pump/belt/tensioner jass. Now the pump works fine, coolant is running through the engine no leaks. GREAT we thought!
Turns out the radiator fans don't spin! So, we have coolant boiling after running for about 15 minutes. THE HEAT DOES NOT WORK. We can't figure out how to test for the wires running to the radiator fans, nor do we want to just throw parts at it. How should we proceed? Could the heat not working be caused by the fans not working? Or do we have yet ANOTHER problem?
