I have a thermostat, and cable/fan. That is it. My engine bay pump is hooked up to open air and it never turns on........
I have searched google, type IV secrets revealed and this forum as well as others. I can't find the pictures I need or info I need on when/how the air pump in the bay is activated. I'm trying to not blow up my good condition 1800 fuelie, and I get the feeling with the hot muggy weather coming back here a working cooling systme is probably A1 before I start driving it semi regularly. Does anyone have any photos? Tips/hints? From what I was told the pump just evacuates the engine bay air below the tin so it is not recycled back through by the cooling fan and back over the heads? (IMG:style_emoticons/default/confused24.gif) I suck at air cooled cars. |

I don't know if you're talking about the electric powered heater blower fan, or the belt driven air pump. I had assumed the latter before. If you remove the smog pump you have to plug the holes where it injected into the engine.
Either way, it's not part of the cooling system. There's no pump that evacuates engine bay air. Cooling system is just the fan on the front of the motor and engine tin. Thermostat helps engine warm up quicker. |

I don't know if you're talking about the electric powered heater blower fan, or the belt driven air pump. I had assumed the latter before. If you remove the smog pump you have to plug the holes where it injected into the engine. The EGR pump is removed, and it's input into the intake stream has been plugged. I also did away with the decel vacuum valve thing as well. I guess that would be the electric heater blower fan... I just thought that was under the front, btu I guess you would need a blower to push the heat all the way through the heater tubes/rockers up there.... I was confused from reading the tidbits here/there between forums. If it is as simple as the vacca rabbite says, then I will be golden after I adjust the thermostat cable tension and make sure the pulley is ok. Thanks guys. |
