I have a 2005 RX 8 How soon after starting my car should the cooling fans kick on? And if they don't start then will it hurt my engine to keep it running to see if they are going to kick on. Or what if I drive it and don't know if they are on Will it blow up my motor? A couple of weeks ago I had my air on high and stop at a stop light and it died, had to re start it. Did this have anything to do with the cooling system or maybe then I just flooded it??? Like I said never had a problem with it until now.
