fan should not come on after a few minutes, it takes quite a while to reach 220F. you can stop the whine but something still ain't right. a faulty ect sensor can do this. read the coolant temp with your code reader, if weather is 40F but the ect shows 100F when cold ?, that will run and wear out the...
