When fan is direct and thermostat valve is not present, it takes very long for engine to reach optimal operating temperature
Is condition mein engine har time choke (rich fuel mixture) py hota so u end up with carbon deposits in engine (valves, valve seals and tappets etc) & sludge.
And increased wear & tear.
So first of all solve ur cooling system issues and make it work as per factory spec
kisi achy efi electrician sy engine light k code scan karwaen, yaha post karyn k kya codes aa rahy then u can get further guidance.
Spark plugs would also be black from soot so better replace them after making fan automatic.
