    When should the clutch fan run?

    if thermostat jiggle at 6°Clock then normal temp should be around 84-86°c, fan clutch kicks in at 87-88, i done it and monitored it in 5VZFEs and 3RZs. i would suspect your radiator need servicing as some channels infront of the fan might be clogged and not providing enough hot air to the...

    Heater cant “keep up”

    also its not a good practice to put anything in front of the radiator. what's you temp gauge pointing at? it should be slightly below middle, you can also grab a Bluetooth obdii adapter and hook it up to your phone, engine coolant temp should never go below 80°. you may straightly just replace...

    Heater cant “keep up”
