Could just be your belt is loose.

In the morning, when you fire it up, the alternator load will be highest. It's just enough that it will only slip during the morning.

Fire it up for 20 seconds, turn it off, feel the pulley. If it's warm where the belt meets the pulley, it's slipping.

The reason it goes off when you hit the fan switch is because it puts a load on the belt, tightening against the pulley.

Just an idear.


sounds more like a squeaky bearing sound

Your fan might be staying on constantly due to a faulty fan clutch or control device. If you had a bearing problem or a slipping belt, spraying water on the belt will make that evident by losing traction w/ the pulley.

Spark plugs are not gapped properly. Yup, that's it, I'm sure of it.

Your posts aren’t gapped far enough apart… that’s the current problem
