Counts describe captured discussions, not unique people or a diagnosis. Author identities are not reliably stored. Exact duplicate evidence is counted once across matching discussions; one discussion counts at most once per action/state. Multiple repairs reported together remain a combination. Suggestions and failed attempts do not establish a fix. Matches cover whole discussions and can include related faults, model variants and incomplete threads.

since i am new to 996, i post so many questions. i really appreciate all your helps. Q. I realized that when i start teh car in the morning, the fan in the engine compartment kicks in and shuts itself off in about 5 minutes. is this normal? What is the purpose of doing this? Thanks.
MY 99 ALSO DID THE SAME THING- BUT MY 01 DOES NOT- I WAS TOLD THAT ON 99'S IT HAD DO WITH EMISSIONS- GUESS THEY FIGURED OUT SOMTHING NEW AFTER 99,S
It's normal. In cold weather the fan warms the catalytic converter until the car gets to normal operating temperature.
