Hi all,

I was returning from the mountains to Denver late last night when my fan
decided to shrapnel itself into a bazillion parts. At first I thought I had
maybe just blown a hose, (noise from under trunk, coolant light starts
flashing). Triple A towed me to my final destination, but on inspection this
morning, it's obvious that my problem is much, much worse (and more
expensive and more of a PITA to fix) than a blown hose.

I've removed the bumper cover and have started to remove the radiator, it
will have to be replaced, unfortunately. I also need to replace the main fan
(which disintegrated) as well as the smaller fan on the passenger side of
the radiator when looking at the car. In addition, I'll need to replace all
the plastic housing around the fan(s), as well as the air intake to the left
of the smaller fan, that sucks air from the top of the grill.

Finding a radiator is no problem, but I'm not finding much on the web when
it comes to both fans, the air intake part (plastic, now badly cracked) and
the plastic shroud that goes around the inside of the radiator.

Can anyone provide "official" part names for the following along with part
numbers?

1. Large fan on drivers side of radiator
2. small fan on passenger side of radiator (looking at car)
3. plastic shroud which fits around interior of radiator.
4. name for air intake tube on left top of car next to small fan.

Thanks for the help. If I can find these parts quickly, I think I can be
back on the road by the end of the week.
