ENGINE COOLING FAN
1990-92 ENGINE COOLING Ford Motor Co. Engine Cooling Fans
DESCRIPTION
Power for cooling fan is provided by the 20-amp COOLING fuse (Capri) or C-FAN fuse (Festiva). Cooling fan is activated when ground is
supplied for fan motor. On Festiva, ground can be supplied by fuel system ECA (located under the left side of dash), A/C cooling fan relay (if
equipped) or cooling fan relay. See Fig. 1
. On all models, when cooling fan is energized, relay contacts are open; when cooling fan is NOT
energized, relay contacts are closed, providing ground through closed contacts to activate cooling fan. See Fig. 2
.
Cooling fan relay is energized when coolant temperature switch is closed. This occurs when coolant temperature is less than 212°F (1 00 °C)
for Capri or 207°F (97°C) for Festiva. At temperatures greater than 212°F (100°C) for Capri or 207°F (97°C) for Festiva, coolant temperature
switch opens and cooling fan relay is de-energized, closing relay contacts and energizing cooling fan.
When ECA senses A/C request, it energizes A/C cooling fan relay by providing a ground for relay windings on ECA pin 1Q. Power for the
A/C cooling fan relay is provided by the HEATER fuse. On Capri, when A/C cooling fan relay is energized, it opens the power circuit for the
cooling fan relay. On Festiva, when A/C cooling fan relay is energized, it provides an alternate path to ground for cooling fan mo t o r. E CA al so
provides an alternate path to ground (at ECA pin 1R) for cooling fan motor based on input from coolant temperature sensor to ECA pin 2Q.

ADJUSTMENTS
ENGINE MECHANICAL
Before beginning any on-vehicle adjustments to fuel or ignition systems, ensure engine mechanical condition is okay.
VALVE CLEARANCE
IGNITION TIMING
CAPRI
1. Place automatic transmission in Park or manual transmission in Neutral. Disconnect and plug hoses attached to vacuum diaphragm
assembly on distributor. Connect tachometer and timing light. Turn off all electrical loads.
2. Start engine, and warm it to operating temperature. Ensure idle speed is set to specification, adjusting if necessary. See IDLE SPEED &
MIXTURE . Determine initial timing. See IGNITION TIMING table. If base timing is not correct, loosen distributor mounting bolts
and rotate distributor until marks align. Tighten bolts to 14-18 ft. lbs. (19-25 N.m).
3. Increase engine RPM while observing timing light. Verify ignition timing advances. For Turbo models, go to step 5). For non-Turbo
models, continue with step 4).
4. On non-Turbo models, apply 16 in. Hg vacuum to chamber "A". Verify timing advances by 26-30 degrees. Remove vacuum source from
chamber "A". Apply 8 in. Hg vacuum to chamber "B" while observing timing. Verify timing advances by 3-7 degrees. Stop engine, and
remove test equipment.
5. On Turbo models, apply 20 in. Hg vacuum to advance diaphragm. Verify timing advances by 13-17 degrees. Disconnect vacuum source.
Apply 8 psi (.6 kg/cm
2 ) pressure to advance diaphragm. Verify timing retards by 3-7 degrees. Stop engine, and remove test equipment.
FESTIVA
1. Place manual transmission in Neutral or automatic transmission in Park. Turn all accessories off. Locate one-wire STI (Black) connector
near master cylinder. Using a jumper wire, connect STI terminal to ground. See Fig. 1
. Connect timing light and tachometer.

2. Start engine, and warm to operating temperature. Ensure idle speed is set to specification, adjusting if necessary. See IDLE SPEED &
MIXTURE .
3. Check initial timing. White timing mark should align with white mark on crankshaft pulley. If marks do not align, loosen distributor
mounting bolts and rotate distributor until marks align. Tighten bolts to 14-18 ft. lbs. (19-25 N.m).
4. Remove jumper wire. Increase engine RPM, and verify ignition timing advances beyond initial setting. Stop engine, and remove test
equipment.
