THe other day while driving back from the city with aircon on the car started to overheat..my first impression was that there was air in the coolant system (thanks to person that did my timing belt and didn't pu enought coolant back).

Did the piece of bottle in the radiator cap and bubbles were on the rise,now,the thermo fan didn't start at all ,is that ok?

I have been thru this for a while. AFAIK you must have the heater on full temp when trying to bleed the system with a Coke bottle.

Finally i raised the level of the bleed valve by 50mm and all is now good.

If you have a consult cable you can run an active test on the thermo fan to see if it is operational.

Apart from that it is only activated when the A/C is on and the coolant temp reaches a set temperature, I don't know what this temp is sorry.

Have you checked the fan is still plugged in?

      thanks for the advice on the box... i was thinking the 6 speed was better for cruising on the highway but on closer inspection and comparison the Rb 5 speed box was not too different...  So the choice is going to be the RB25 box... if I can save up and find one at the right price

      Thanks Matt, yes that's what i am aiming for. Just going to apply the right voltage and grounds to the dash connector. Hence my search for these pins... any chance you know if these pins are in the same spot as the ones on the S15 Dash connector? as mentioned above on page 8?

      Yes, unfortunately that's the one. Signal was noisy to begin with; after driving once and looking back at the logs I saw pressure constantly swinging between 0-200psi, or staying at 0 randomly for a few seconds. There's a lot of good sensors that share the same look and feel, so don't presume they're all bad. I bought mine for 20$ off Amazon and I should have read the reviews prior, as it's clear they're junk.  I purchased a lowdollerr motorsports sensor.
