    When it is time for the efan to come on, there should be current to the 85 or 86 pin on the fan relay. If there is no current there, the switch inside the ECM is toast

    Then I would suggest your ECM is not turning it on. It is a fairly common problem. It will have to be replaced

    First off, a fan shroud on the mechanical fan will increase its efficiency by quite a bit. I am guessing since it is not that good of a shroud, but say in the 30% range. The next thing to do is see...

    So, it is running hot but the efan doesn't come on? Something is not right here I think or I just don't understand what the problem is

    After thinking about this some more, your efan is controlled by the relay which is controlled by the PCM. So, if you wire one of these in, it needs to be done in a way that the PCM does not see it...

    I have tried water wetter and found it works well when the system is doing what it is supposed to. But if it is going to overheat, it won't stop it

    If the top hose is soft, the question is if your radiator cap holds pressure. A soft hose doesn't really tell you anything accept it is soft, which can be relative since you are only dealing with...

    You will need to figure out if you have standard or reverse rotation on your fan pulley. I don't think you do. That applies to water pumps, which is where the ZJ fan is mounted, not like the XJ...
