CAMARO6 - View Single Post - ECS Kit Installed

Well spent my weekend bolting on my ECS Novi 1500 kit - everything went pretty smooth, other than ECS didn't ship the pulley for the head unity with it, so I have everything done other than the belt and top pulley.

Fired the car up and have a couple of CELs (I also put in off road pipes) but wanted to let the car warm up so I can burp the coolant.

Whats interesting is that dead cold, the car will fire up the radiator fan immediately, and runs wide open.

I unplugged the main plug for the fan so it would warm up, burped the coolant, shut it off and plugged the fan in and started it again so the coolant could flow for awhile.

That being said - I thought the fan would shutoff when I got the coolant full, but it still runs wide open on startup.

Is it some kind of safety thing with the water being low, or something to do with the lean condition code it has from the off road pipes?
