Ok in my haste to get this thing on I didn't look too carefully at what plug I was tapping into for the AC pump switch. The red wire I was referencing was actually the pressure switch. Unless you are truly bored and in need of excitement that includes screeching belt noises from a seized compressor clutch and the requsite smoke that partners with this noise do not tap into this wire
After a change of pants and a trip to the autoparts store to get a replacement belt, I found the correct plug, verified with my meter and attached the fan control.
All in all, thanks to Al's writeup, this was an easy mod. The acceleration was perhaps a bit more perky. I will provide data to MPG as I continue to test. I had no temperature issues during my 45 minute in traffic roadtest.
Al, I have basically the same setup as you with a few minor differences:
1999 V6 SOHC Eddie B.
K&N Gen II
Throttle body spacer
Gibson exhaust
Jacobs Wires
Edlebrock IAS shocks
I have the X-Spec Air dam and windjammer deflector at the shop being painted to match. I will install these on Tues. Apten chip should be here by then as well.
I average about 24MPG with a mix of city and highway driving.
One thing to note, I have high output head and fog lights, 1400 Watt Amp with 2 farad cap, red top Optima powered by a 200 AMP alternator from Mralternator.com and have noticed no dimming etc problems. I wired the fan to run after the car is off and have noticed no issues yet, I plan on picking up a yellowtop optima when I return the fan clutch removal tools on Monday.
Again guys, I will update as to MPG and temp progress.
