T-stat housing behind the block you should see it. I think you need a 10mm box end wrench should do.

My 240 had a clutch fan run off the pulleys. I removed it and ziptied in an electric fan from a honda, then just ran key on power to the fan so it runs constantly until you turn off the ignition. Works fine and oh so easy! You could at least do this for now to keep from overheating. Don't drive around with the bleeder screw open, that can't be a real solution. Do you know anyone with the same car or a parts car you can try swapping parts with?

no one has this car any more but when they did they told me they didnt have this problem, so is th escrew suppose 2 be very tight a lil tight or wut? oh and by the way as another update the fans have not yet 2 come on again

Wire the fan so it cuts on and off with the key if you need to drive it around for anything other than testing.
If the wiring is hooked up correctly...
And you don't have air in the system...
and you're not losing water...

...it could be;

a bad temp switch, <$20,
a faulty or incorrectly installed thermostat,
a faulty radiator fan timer,
or a bad fan motor if you haven't seen them both run or jumped 12v to them.

Let me know if I'm forgetting anything.
I think you might need a multitester
or enough money to start blindly buying replacement parts
which works too

well if i jump the fan only one comes on as it does when the car turns off and the car is on, but when there a flke and the fans trn on while the car is on both come on does that narrow out a problem at all?

The second fan is wired to the A/C so when the engine is under extra load to run the A/C the engine doesn't suffer from the extra heat. You said that the fan worked the way it is supposed to before you replaced the radiator. The fan has to be removed inorder to install the radiator so the first thing I would look at is connections that had to be undone when installing the radiator. 2nd thing to look closly at is the temp sensor that tells the computer to tell the fan to come on. There are two sensors, one for the gauge on the dash and the other is the one that triggers the fan to come on. And 3rd is the computer. My '90 LX coupe had a failure in the computer. The damn fan wouldn't shut off, came on whenever it pleased. I mean like, it's 50 degrees outside, the car hasn't been driven in days, I walk by the car, and as if to say hello! the fan comes on.

Before worse comes to worse, the way you jumpered the fan to see if it would come on.... jumper it with a switch wired to the dash so you can manually turn the fan on and off so you can continue to drive it.

1. don't change the engine oil and filter
2. don't replace the timing belt and coolant pump
3. over heat the engine
