So basically from your thread you have a EB running a EF engine,ecu and thermo fan relays. Obviously they were not connected correctly. A search will fix your problems or just bite the bullet and get an after market kit to trigger the thermo's on...

You list that you have an EF but your question appears to state that it is an EB. 2) Engine itself means nothing as long as the correct auxilaries were fitted. 3) If it is an EB with EF engine, is it running dizzy or Coilpacks? Is it fitted with Log manifold or BBM? What ECU are you running? Correct info and as much as possible leads to correct advice. |

unplug the ics and see if it drops to where its ment to be, if not then turn the base idle down, theres a little idle screw on the throttle body near the accelorator cable, i think if you set it to about 700 rpm and plug the ics back in it should be fine as i had the same problem and this is how i fixed it
