Empire rh 35-7. Won't turn off when it reaches temp

So it starts up perfectly it lights it reaches temp and the thermostat kicks in to turn it off but the little box just buzzes and never actually turns off so it effectively just stays on while buzzing once it reaches temp and goes above temp. I can test the thermostat just by going back and forth past the current temperature if I go above the current temperature it's quiet and just stays on I go below the current temperature the buzzing kicks in like it's trying to turn off the valve but nothing happens it just stays lit. It sounds like a little magnetic relay is just buzzing in there for what I can tell it's probably like part of the electronic fuel valve I'm guessing. Problem is I have to fix it I can't order a part it's literally impossible at our location to replace a part so I have to fix what's here. Any ideas?

It sounds like the electronic fuel valve might be malfunctioning and not shutting off properly, which could be causing the buzzing sound you're hearing. Here are a few things you can try to fix the issue:

  1. Check the wiring: Make sure all the wires going to the valve are connected properly and securely. Loose or damaged wires can cause electrical problems.
  2. Clean the valve: Over time, the valve can become clogged with debris, which can interfere with its operation. Try cleaning the valve by disconnecting it and blowing compressed air through it to remove any dirt or debris.
  3. Replace the valve spring: The spring inside the valve that controls its operation can become weak or damaged, which can prevent it from closing properly. You might be able to replace the spring to fix the issue.
  4. Check the control board: The problem could also be with the control board that regulates the valve's operation. Check the board for any obvious signs of damage or malfunction, such as burned-out components or loose connections.
  5. Call for professional help: If none of the above steps work, it might be time to call in a professional HVAC technician to diagnose and repair the issue. They can help you identify the exact cause of the problem and recommend the best course of action to fix it.

SS w/3.8l engine. What would cause the first electric fan not run but when temp rises the second fan will come on?

The coolant fan should kick on when temp reaches 192 degrees. Have you changed your thermostat? The 2nd fan is for the a/c. If car is running hot, it's probably thermostat or cooling fan

2006 Dodge Magnum When its cold the car starts up perfectly fine bt after driving for a min the engine light comes on and I get a lighting bolt warning sign thermostat is not reading cars temp and have no...

You may have a thermostat that is stuck in the open position not allowing the engine tom warm up fast enough to please the computer. Depending on which engine you have, locate the thermostat housing and replace the thermostat.

You could also be a little low on coolant. Take off the radiator cap when the engine is cold and check the level.

I have a 1993 chevy suburban and just replaced the thermostat, because addmissions wants the surburan to run no higher than 160f . Well the thermostat works but dosen't kick in untill it reaches 2

you will be hard pressed to get a thermostat that opens at160F as that is 71 C and most thermostats have an opening temp of 80 C (175 F) to 85 c which is 185F
at a temp of 220F which is 104.4 C your engine is near boiling
it indicates that the thermostat has been incorrectly fitted in that the bulb or major part is not in the head or block water but in the hose section
go to the dealer spares and see what the temp range is on a new thermostat but I doubt that the manufacturer will get a special thermostat as they use generic items from thermostat manufacturers put in expensive packaging

When idoling or driving car coolant starts boiling over at resevoir.I changed thermostat but did not help.when it boils over,temp is not even half way on gauge

Hi!

Your coolant temp sensor may be defective, check wiring also, if this senor doesn't send the signal the Cooling Fan won't kick in. Fan will come on when temp reaches half way on gauge.

Good Luck!!

Overheats while Idling.

there are 3 cooling fan reays in a 98 aurora and they are computer controlled. the low speed fan relay should turn on when the ecu detects a temp of 229 degrees and should turn off when the temp has dropped to 216 degrees. it is best to check the temp with a computer monitor so you can see what the computer is reading. If you turn the a/c on you can see if the fans are operating. If they don't come on with the a/c you may have a problem with the high side a/c switch. A bad thermostat can cause the fans to come on late.
