Hello fellow members, information required.
On starting my '98 2.5 V6, you can barely hear the engine running due to a concealed fan? which I have traced to just infront of the passenger front wheel, whining its box off. This will continue for 3-5 minutes starting from cold. When hot it makes the noise for only 15 seconds or so. The engine runs fine at all times.
What is it? what does it do, and what would happen if I disconnected it? Why is it now making this noise, and appears to be getting progressively worse.
Not only is it annoying, but extremely loud when outside the vehicle, and onlookers begin to back away when you start up.
