Electric fan problem

I switched from a straight fan in my 3rd gen to the electric fan a while ago. I had it wired to the alternator so it would only run when the car was running, but now it seemed to die down and only barley moves with the car on. Is there anywhere else I could wire it into so it only works when the car is on???

the motor is probally burned out. The fans arent designed to be on all the time. When you replace the motor, hook it up to a switch.

Check out these fan kits. I gotta get one because my fans are running the car too cold. I might get the adjustable fan kit.
