"failure of engine compartment blower"

Has anyone had this come up? Search didn't tell much. Everything seems to be working correctly, fan is blowing in the right direction and temps are normal.

It may be a heat issue; check your exhaust for leaks. I had a similar issue when running without the exhaust during a test run.

To elaborate on 32krazy post, here's a picture of the location and the sensor itself. It is probably out of the holder and touching the engine case…..

Yep, thanks again you guys! Sensor out of the holder and hanging down by the case. Rubber plug still there, got it all back in place.
