    Fan cuts on at 130 from fifteen seconds to several minutes then off. Continues this behavior 140. 150. 160 etc.
    what's going on? I was under impression 190 is when fan should kick on. ..
    What should i test. I don't wanna burn out my fan clutch or burn fuel money! Help!

    Your ac system can tell your fan to turn on just like your cooling system.
