Low idle after electric fan install

[neverlookback]

okay so I installed 2 Hayden electric fans into my Zenki, they work great car is runnin rediculously cool. the catch? she's idleing extreamely low.The fans are wired through the stock wireing harness, made possible by shorting out the "hi" fan relay. I'll post pix later if anyone is interested in the how to. any help with the low idle would be a big stress off my mind tho. thanks

My idle drops when my e-fans kick in also.I turned up the idle a little bit and added a 2gauge grounding wire to my intake manifold and it isn't so bad now.

whats the ampere draw from those fans????

mine do the same thing when i switch them on(aftermarket switch and relay) but i have dual FAL's, so i think that the ampere draw on them is like 19.5 so thats why my RPM's drop to round 500

yeah i tried turning the "idle screw" (suggestion from another 240 guy) didnt make a difference. is there another way to adjust it? I dont know the draw on the fans....i do have two of them on there tho.

Razzi: you have pix of how you did the grounding?

Maybe it's because you have 2.I have 1 Hayden fan on there, and the idle used to drop to 500 when it turned on.

I put an extra grounding wire on my intake manifold and bumped up the idle, but my idle still drops when it turns on, but it doesn't go down below 500 and start shuddering.

Image of my grounding wire.From Intake Manifold to the screws that hold the windshield wiper motor.Not sure if it's effective, I might take it off one day and see if I feel a difference.

thanks homie. I'll give it a shot and see if it helps

No problem I hope it fixes your problem.

I did something similar to this guide.http://www.nicoclub.com/articles.php?id=216236Except I used a portable stove instead of a torch.
