I recently notice that after idling for 2-5 minutes at a stop, when I put on the gas, the fan noisy is pretty loud and I feel losing power when acceleration. But after 1 or 2 minites later, the fan noisy becomes minimium. The outside temp. is around 33 degree C and the temperature meter is at about 12, no change when idling. Does it mean that my engine is too hot after idling? Any suggestion?
No, the fan is clutched in when the thermostat reaches a certain temp. But it can't hurt to get it checked along with the rest of the cooling system. Cooling is everything.
