Re: fan coming on too late / idle speed and shaking

It sounds to me like your idle stabilizer is dirty. This is a very common problem. The idle drops too low and the engine shakes. If I remember right the RPM should be around 800. The idle stabilizer can be cleaned with carborator cleaner spray. As far as the temp is concerned, check the spec. I think 200 sounds about right. The fan is controlled by a sensor on the radiator.
