RE: Cooling fan question

[Andrew Wong <mkii_84@yahoo.com>]

Thanks, I think that the AC was shot since none of the
compuntents worked.  The idle of the car is between
3000 and 4000rpm and I am think maybe it is causing
the car to get hot where it smokes too since the smoke
is in front of the TB and some parts near there are
very dirty.  Is it ok to clean it up with a cloth?
