Are you tracking temps with a ScanGauge or UltraGauge. The fan will come on around 206 degrees. It is not loud enough to hear inside the car unless the car is off, or maybe idling at a stand still. My grill blocks guarantee that the fan will come on when driving city streets, under 80% load, up some sustained hill or other. Most other situations do not set them off, even freeways, except in unusually hot weather.

See my car's mod & maintenance thread and my electric bicycle's thread for ongoing projects. I will rebuild Black and Green over decades as parts die, until it becomes a different car of roughly the same shape and color. My minimum fuel economy goal is 55 mpg while averaging posted speed limits. I generally top 60 mpg. See also my Honda manual transmission specs thread.
