sometimes it will even shut off. I also have a horton electric fan that when it kicks in does the same thing. the problem may be all related to the fan?? DAVE

if what your saying is the engine dies when the fan comes on , then I would get a digital hand held tach gun and check the idle speed , on the dyno I sometimes lose as much as 25 horsepower when the fan kicks in under a load .
