I do not think the fuel cleaner is related to the fan problem. There are other threads on this fan issue, which usually points to a bad thermostat. What is the temperature gauge doing?

You can drive the car with the fan on high. The main problem associated with this is the fan staying on and draining the battery.

It is possible that this was an isolated incident, and that you ran the car very hot right before you turned the engine off. then the fan kicked on to remove the residual heat. In general, you should let a car warm up before you really jump on it, and you should give the engine a chance to cool a bit before shutting down. the same can be said for any engine.

I would also check the coolant level. there are threads with pictures here. Basically the upper reservoir should be completely full. You add fluid to the lower reservoir which has fill lines stamped on the sides. Fluid is the dexron orange stuff in a 50/50 mix.

Thanks! ctrlz really appreciate the input. i attached the gauge and coolnant so they seem ok.

The fan has been normal now.
my battery has been drained 2 or more times this winter and i used jump starter to start the car.

Maybe the low battery is causing the fan to act Strangely?
