I recently had my transmission and radiator replaced since then I have been getting extremely low temps, 120 if I'm lucky this has caused my mpg to go to 11mpg. I have found that my clutch fan always runs very fast it also has some play in it. I checked the temperature sensor by buying a thermometer and testing coolant temperature (stupid I know) after driving for 30 minutes I was at 110 degrees. I replaced my water pump this summer.
My questions are
-What is operating temperature?
-What temps are you running?
-Should the clutch fan have play?
-If the clutch fan has failed at max rpm constantly how does the thermostat not compensate for my temperature fluctuation?
-Even if the thermostat was stuck open the coolant wouldn't remain in the radiator long enough to become cool right?
-Wouldn't it throw some sort of code?
-Can I check the actual temp from the PCM just to make sure the gauge isn't bad?
I have not reached 210 degrees since early december when the replacement was made.
