Eat fresh, keep car cool. I would…but at 3 or 4 in the morning you really only have McD’s in Waterloo…that or instant noodles or more red rave to keep you going. Don’t worry I’m taking my week off to get healthy again… > [@Hurricane"](#): > > You are idling for a long time behind other cars and its restricting your air flow. The fan is probably malfunctioning somehow. Or the drive through line is on an incline and you have air in your system that is being trapped up at the water temp sensor and making the car think its overheating. Thanks for the advice. I thought it could’ve been the idling behind other cars issue but that possibility ended on the third night where the drive thru was clear and I was waiting for the fries and the same problem happened again. Definitely think it’s fan related now… > [@GVR4 \> M3, B18?

This signal interferes with the ECU in your S13… it actually only affects S13’s and no other car on earth. It has to do with how awesome S13’s are that they actually take on many human characteristics on account of being so awesome because nothing else is as awesome as an S13 except for humans. Yeah! That’s exactly what I was thinking of too actually. I thought there was some sort of frequency being admitted from their drive-thru and that it was actually interfering with a frequency of some rotating component in the engine. omfg this whole time i thought my car was going to die when in fact, i’ve been receiving free ecu tuneups…siiick. maybe instead of doing a burnout by the window the sensor pad underneath actually opens up and transforms into a dyno and basically they can map everything out by varying that emitted electro-radioactive pulse. i’ll have to talk to the manager next time… > [@Shooting downtown?](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/shooting-downtown/12328/7): > > bing i thought only certain people knew that. i am defiantly sticking to subway. i don’t want my S13 to get angry. its not just a car… as for the engine problem. i would think its a fan if u got a “whirring” sound. if ur car sits to long after being run, maybe its the route u take. cause the engine needs to cool down and if all is around it is exaust fumes and Mcdonalds fries smell and ur fan doesn’t work then more then likely the temp will rise. do u do a high rate of speed to get to Mcdonalds? or did u on those occasions?. thats my theory cause it happens to my friend jennies S10 with a 350 all the time. her fan don’t work It’s definitely not fume related in any way. Gunning it to McD’s…I usually go a bit above the limit so 70-80ish? Wouldn’t really consider that too high of a speed. But my fan does in fact work but I’ll have to look into it or just wait to see if this happens elsewhere or another time. Thanks anyway. --- _[View the full topic](https://forums.speedlife.net/t/mcds-not-good-for-s13s-apparently/105992)._
