Alright guys I need a little help. Finally got 1800 back on the road after doing the manifold job. Drove the car for 45 mins with no issues. At first it was running like a champ and then out of no where the car dies on a very busy road. The fans up front started making a heck of a lot of noise. They had been working fine up until that point and then all the sudden they start making a noise like something is caught in the fan blade (metal on metal sounding). As soon as it made the noise the car died. The car would turn over but sounded like it was getting zero fuel. After about the tenth try it fires right up. Fan noise gone as well, just the normal sound of them blowing. Drove fine for another 30 mins or so. I pull up at the shop to park it and the noise in the fans come back and the car shuts off. Started back on the 2nd try this time but it was making the noise up front at the fans again. I don't see anything stuck in the fans or anything.
Any ideas? I'm stumped. I don't see how the fans would cause the car to shut off in the first place? I thought maybe it was a separate issue until it died the 2nd time. The car isn't running hot either.
