Ok so if im standing in front of the car, the fan should turn on on blow air towards the engine or towards the radiator?
Right now the little arrow is pointing to the radiator.

TOWARDS THE MOTOR!!!!!!!! See the radiator has fins and it sucks air through those fins to cool the coolant which will circulate through the engine and cool the engine. The fan itself does not cool the engine because thats not enough fan to cool a beast.

a big one!
seriously you need a decent fan. those black tragics are usually not up to the tasks with even stock motors.
i running a taurus fan from a 3.8 liter taurus. it seems the thing would suck the front end of the car when its on at 100%.

I tossed the fan, wasnt big enough, and it didnt fix my problem.
But on a side note a I drove my car today for the first time with a blower and OMG im in love with my car all over again.
