I thought your car had A/C but I may have been incorrect. If you have A/C you should have a clutch on the fan. If you have a non A/C car then there is no clutch and the fan is bolted directly to the water pump (thus it won't budge). If you don't have a clutch that only leaves you with the thermostat, water pump or radiator as the culprits. The only valve I can think of on the front of the carb is the choke. The choke should be closed on a cold engine and fully open on a warm engine. Steve B.
