My idle usually drops to about 900, even when rolling, not staying around 2000 like it should when cruising in neutral. Not too bad, I can deal with it. Now it sometimes drops low, and seems to have trouble finding the right idle speed, and it seems to be related to engine temperatures. I still havent' been able to find out what happened to my fan, so I only have rad cooling at speed (not a problem as the rad works great), but when I slow down it heats up to about half way,and seems to idle differently, and a couple of times has died. I've also noticed that when it runs slightly warmer than normal, but not a lot, that it will sometimes run at about 1900rpm in neutral, but then it goes away.
I'm wondering if the coolant sensor could be causing problems (I have a 180^ Thermostat, which is about 8 months old), or if there's something else going on. No noticeable boost leaks, and I've checked them a few times. Any other suggestions besides fixing my fan, which is proving more work than I thought?
