Out it didn't work but we didnt get a chance to replace it and it's cheap enough I'd rather not run a toggle switch

Try unplugging the fan+shroud, pull it out, and connect it to battery. If it spins, your controller is bad. Easiest fix is to run it to a switch.

You should be able to buy one. As far as "adjustment", I don't think so.

He tested the actual fan and it didnt work. So it's not a relay

While replacing my CPS (again), I realized my entire exhaust from downpipe to turndown is loose and able to shift. I need to secure it so it doesn't move again and cause more trouble, and then I can work on replacing my manifold and downpipe if new timing doesn't fix my backfire.

Also is the controller part of the fan or it's own part?

To pass your GED test I would assume you will need to be able to use proper sentence structure, work on that.

The answer to what I am assuming you are asking is... Nothing. They're a glorified paper weight. I you want one though, I will sell you mine.

I'm just gonna say this but it seems if you made a intake manifold spacer it could work
