I took the radiator apart and ran it without it for 30 seconds and it stopped and wouldn't start anymore because I had a problem with the fan what could it be?
Did you remove the grille? I'm afraid of breaking the clips
Very well explained, it's identical to the Tigra that I'm redoing.
Great, thanks
