Hello there!
I'm very new to Xj's as I just bought my 1990 a few days ago. Its been running hot at idle, and sometimes while driving through the mountains. The temp is always changing.. it goes from 180-210 within a matter of seconds. If I let it idle for a long period of time... the resivor starts to overflow, and I shut the engine off. Another thing I noticed is that the electric fan only comes on when the A/C compressor is on. Is the electric fan supposed to assist the mechanical fan???? If so where is the temp switch for the electric fan? I have replaced the water-pump and t-stat (192degree) and shes still running hot!!
Any thoughts?
Thanks,
Justin
